Certified fire doorsets in Ramsgate

Certified fire doorsets in Ramsgate, done to the evidence

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

In and around Ramsgate, fire door work covers everything from small offices to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Ramsgate, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Ramsgate, with less cutting and fewer return visits.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
• Doorset selection to rating, size and use
• Certificate references and photo record per opening

The regulations behind fire doors in Ramsgate

England's framework applies in Ramsgate. 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 Ramsgate, 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.
