What certified fire doorsets in Coleraine should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Coleraine, we offer certified fire doorsets with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Coleraine has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every doorset we fit in Coleraine is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Coleraine, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence.
What does third-party certification mean?
Third-party certification means an independent body has checked the product's test evidence and audits the factory that makes it. Certified products carry a label or plug on the door edge and a certificate you can check. Buyers often look for schemes such as BWF Certifire or BM TRADA Q-Mark when choosing products. Our guide to certified doorsets explains how to read the label and certificate.
On a typical job that means:
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing

Questions from Coleraine
Do you work in Coleraine?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in Coleraine and the surrounding area, including Ballymena and Derry. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Coleraine?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Are doorsets more expensive than a leaf?
The product costs more, but the labour is often lower and the result is better evidenced. Where a frame would need replacing anyway, a doorset is usually the better value.
Can a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
