Certified fire doorsets: our service in Kenilworth
Looking for certified fire doorsets in Kenilworth? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Kenilworth and the wider Warwickshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Kenilworth has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, care homes and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Kenilworth, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence. Every doorset we fit in Kenilworth is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- 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
Which fire door rules apply in Kenilworth?

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
