Certified fire doorsets: our service in Greenford
If you need certified fire doorsets in Greenford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Greenford, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to purpose-built blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Every doorset we fit in Greenford is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Greenford, 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.
Each installation includes:
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
Rules and responsibilities in Greenford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Greenford 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Greenford sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Greenford 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.

Questions
Is Greenford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Greenford in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Northolt. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Greenford?
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.
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.
