Certified fire doorsets in Tottenham

Getting certified fire doorsets right in Tottenham

Our certified fire doorsets service covers Tottenham 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.

In and around Tottenham, fire door work covers everything from shared houses to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Tottenham, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Tottenham is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Doorset selection to rating, size and use
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing

Fire door law for Tottenham properties

Fire doors in Tottenham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. 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. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For residential buildings in Tottenham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Which buildings in Tottenham need certified fire doorsets?

Typical settings for certified fire doorsets include new-build and conversion projects, blocks of flats and schools and offices. In Tottenham, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.
