Certified fire doorsets in Gloucestershire, done to the evidence
Whether your building is in Gloucester, Cheltenham or a smaller place in Gloucestershire, we can provide certified fire doorsets with the same evidence-led approach.
Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Gloucestershire, with less cutting and fewer return visits. Every doorset we fit in Gloucestershire is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
Gloucestershire has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Fire door law for Gloucestershire properties
In Gloucestershire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Gloucestershire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Guide pricing for certified fire doorsets: £650–£1,300 for an FD30 doorset and £850–£1,800 for FD60, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Volume work across several doors in one Gloucestershire building usually brings the per-door cost down. Your written quote is fixed once we have surveyed.
Common questions
Do you provide certified fire doorsets across Gloucestershire?
Yes. We cover all of Gloucestershire, including Gloucester and Cheltenham. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Do doorsets come painted?
They can be supplied primed, factory painted, veneered, laminated or with a composite skin, depending on the product. Factory finishes avoid painting over seals and labels on site.
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.
