Certified fire doorsets in Aldershot

Certified fire doorsets: our service in Aldershot

From the GU11 postcode district outwards, we take on certified fire doorsets across Aldershot for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Fire doors in Aldershot protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, care homes and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Every doorset we fit in Aldershot is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Aldershot, 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
• Doorset selection to rating, size and use

Which fire door rules apply in Aldershot?

England's framework applies in Aldershot. 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.

For blocks over 11 metres in Aldershot, 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.
