Certified fire doorsets in Sutton Coldfield

Certified fire doorsets: our service in Sutton Coldfield

We provide certified fire doorsets in Sutton Coldfield (B75 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Sutton Coldfield, GP surgeries, offices and schools all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Every doorset we fit in Sutton Coldfield is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Sutton Coldfield, 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.

What you get:

• Doorset selection to rating, size and use
• Certificate references and photo record per opening
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
