Certified fire doorsets in Beckenham: what's involved

Around Beckenham, shared houses, clinics and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Beckenham, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Beckenham is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.

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.

What you get:

• Certificate references and photo record per opening
• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
• Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
• Doorset selection to rating, size and use

Which fire door rules apply in Beckenham?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Beckenham are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Where a Beckenham block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
