Certified fire doorsets in Horley, done to the evidence
If you need certified fire doorsets in Horley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Horley, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Every doorset we fit in Horley is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Horley, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Doorset selection to rating, size and use

Questions
Do you work in Horley?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in Horley and the surrounding area, including Crawley and Redhill. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Horley?
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.
How long do doorsets take to arrive?
Lead times depend on the manufacturer, size, finish and ironmongery. Standard sizes can be quick; bespoke sizes and finishes take longer. We give you the lead time with the quote and confirm it at order.
