Certified fire doorsets in Streatham

Getting certified fire doorsets right in Streatham

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

Around Streatham, care homes, converted flats and shared houses 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.

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

• Certificate references and photo record per opening
• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing

Rules and responsibilities in Streatham

In Streatham, 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Streatham sits with the London Fire Brigade.

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 Streatham 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.
