Certified fire doorsets for Romford buildings
If you need certified fire doorsets in Romford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Romford protect escape routes in mixed-use office buildings, purpose-built blocks of flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Romford, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Romford 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.
Each installation includes:
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use

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.

Common questions
Do you work in Romford?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in Romford and the surrounding area, including Hornchurch and Dagenham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Romford?
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.
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.
