Certified fire doorsets in Mitcham

Certified fire doorsets for Mitcham buildings

Our certified fire doorsets service in Mitcham is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Fire doors in Mitcham protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, purpose-built blocks of flats and shared houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Mitcham, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Mitcham 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Certificate references and photo record per opening
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
