Certified fire doorsets: our service in Warwick
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Warwick, we offer certified fire doorsets with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Warwick protect escape routes in small offices, small blocks of flats and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Warwick, with less cutting and fewer return visits. Every doorset we fit in Warwick is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
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:
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
Fire door law for Warwick properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Warwick are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Warwick block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
