Buildings in and around New Malden range from restaurants to student accommodation and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in New Malden, with less cutting and fewer return visits. Every doorset we fit in New Malden 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.
Each installation includes:
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
The regulations behind fire doors in New Malden
The rules that apply to fire doors in New Malden 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 New Malden sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a New Malden 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.

Common questions
Do you work in New Malden?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in New Malden and the surrounding area, including Surbiton and Morden. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in New Malden?
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.
Can a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
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.
