Certified fire doorsets in Hayes

What certified fire doorsets in Hayes should include

From the UB3 postcode district outwards, we take on certified fire doorsets across Hayes for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Fire doors in Hayes protect escape routes in restaurants, clinics and shared houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Hayes, with less cutting and fewer return visits. Every doorset we fit in Hayes is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing

Fire doors in Hayes fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
