Fire doorset supply and fit in Peckham

Certified fire doorsets: our service in Peckham

Our certified fire doorsets service covers Peckham and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Peckham has a broad mix of buildings, including shared houses, schools and purpose-built blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Peckham, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Peckham, with less cutting and fewer return visits.

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:

• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
• Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
• Certificate references and photo record per opening

Which fire door rules apply in Peckham?

England's framework applies in Peckham. 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Peckham sits with the London Fire Brigade.

For blocks over 11 metres in Peckham, 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.
