Egham has a broad mix of buildings, including small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Egham, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Egham, with less cutting and fewer return visits.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions

Questions from Egham
Do you cover TW20 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Egham including TW20, and nearby towns such as Staines and Ashford (Surrey). The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Egham?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can a doorset be fitted into an existing opening?
Usually, yes. Doorsets are made to fit the structural opening once the old frame is removed. We measure the opening on the survey so the doorset is made to the right size and the gaps to the wall stay within what the evidence allows.
Are doorsets more expensive than a leaf?
The product costs more, but the labour is often lower and the result is better evidenced. Where a frame would need replacing anyway, a doorset is usually the better value.
