What flat entrance fire doors in Belfast should include
Our flat entrance fire doors service covers all of Belfast, across postcode districts including BT1, BT15 and BT9.
We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Belfast, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. Flat entrance door programmes in Belfast are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.
Belfast has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
What goes into a compliant flat entrance doorset?
We fit certified FD30S doorsets with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that closes and latches the door from any angle, fire-tested hinges and a lock or latch covered by the certification. Door viewers, spy holes, letterplates, numerals and security hardware can only be fitted if they are part of the doorset's evidence. Where residents want a letterplate, we use one that is covered by the test evidence or recommend a separate post box.

Common questions
Do you provide flat entrance fire doors across Belfast?
Yes. We cover all of Belfast, including Belfast and Castlereagh. Surveys and written quotes are free.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
