Certified fire doorsets in Fleet

Certified fire doorsets in Fleet: what's involved

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Fleet, we offer certified fire doorsets with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Fleet range from small offices to family homes after loft conversions and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

What you get:

• Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing

What the rules say for Fleet

The rules that apply to fire doors in Fleet are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Fleet block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Buildings and duty holders in Fleet

From refurbishment programmes to schools and offices, the requirement for certified fire doorsets in Fleet comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

The steps on a Fleet installation

1. Survey and measure every structural opening
2. Specify doorsets by rating, size, hand, finish and hardware
3. Prepare openings and remove existing doors and linings
4. Fix and seal the frames to the structure
5. Hang, adjust and test each leaf and closer
6. Fit architraves, make good and hand over evidence
