Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Lower Earley, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Lower Earley, with less cutting and fewer return visits.
How is a doorset installed?
The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.
As standard, the work covers:
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
Which fire door rules apply in Lower Earley?

For blocks over 11 metres in Lower Earley, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
Which buildings in Lower Earley need certified fire doorsets?
