What certified fire doorsets in Putney should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Putney, we offer certified fire doorsets with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Putney, mixed-use office buildings, converted flats and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Every doorset we fit in Putney is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Putney, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence.
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.
What you get:
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
The regulations behind fire doors in Putney
In Putney, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Putney building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions from Putney
Is Putney within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Putney in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Barnes. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
How long do doorsets take to arrive?
Lead times depend on the manufacturer, size, finish and ironmongery. Standard sizes can be quick; bespoke sizes and finishes take longer. We give you the lead time with the quote and confirm it at order.
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.
