Certified fire doorsets in Cambridge, CB2

Certified fire doorsets for Cambridge buildings

Our certified fire doorsets service in Cambridge is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Fire doors in Cambridge protect escape routes in schools, purpose-built flats and offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Cambridge, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Cambridge, with less cutting and fewer return visits.

Why choose a doorset over a door leaf?

A fire door's rating belongs to the assembly that was tested, not to the leaf on its own. When a certified leaf is hung in an old frame with mismatched hinges and seals, nobody can say with confidence how it will perform. A doorset arrives with the frame, gaps and ironmongery already matched, so the installer's job is to fix it correctly into the opening and seal it to the structure.

Doorsets also cut time on site, which matters in occupied buildings: less cutting, less dust and fewer return visits.

On a typical job that means:

• Certificate references and photo record per opening
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Doorset selection to rating, size and use

Which fire door rules apply in Cambridge?

Fire doors in Cambridge fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Cambridge above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
