Flat entrance fire doors in Long Eaton, NG10

Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Long Eaton

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Long Eaton, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Long Eaton range from care homes to houses with integral garages and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

In a block of flats in Long Eaton, each flat's front door is what keeps smoke out of the shared corridor, which is why a working closer matters as much as the door. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Long Eaton, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
