Certified fire doorsets: our service in Fulham
Looking for certified fire doorsets in Fulham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Fulham and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fulham has a broad mix of buildings, including converted flats, mixed-use office buildings and purpose-built blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Fulham, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Fulham is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
How is a doorset installed?
The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.
On a typical job that means:
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
What the rules say for Fulham
England's framework applies in Fulham. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Fulham, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions from Fulham
Do you cover SW6 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Fulham including SW6, and nearby towns such as Chelsea and Putney. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Fulham 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.
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.
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.
