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.
Each installation includes:
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening

Questions
Is Kingston upon Hull within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Kingston upon Hull in East Riding of Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Beverley. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Kingston upon Hull building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
