Certified fire doorsets for Bedworth buildings
When you book certified fire doorsets in Bedworth, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Bedworth has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, care homes and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every doorset we fit in Bedworth is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Bedworth, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence.
How is a doorset installed?
The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
Fire door law for Bedworth properties
In Bedworth, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Bedworth building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs certified fire doorsets in Bedworth?

In Bedworth, as anywhere, the duty holder varies: a responsible person for a workplace, a landlord or managing agent for a block or HMO, or a homeowner after building work. We adjust access, timing and paperwork to suit whoever commissions the work.

Questions
Do you work in Bedworth?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in Bedworth and the surrounding area, including Nuneaton and Coventry. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
Do doorsets come painted?
They can be supplied primed, factory painted, veneered, laminated or with a composite skin, depending on the product. Factory finishes avoid painting over seals and labels on site.
