Flat entrance fire doors in Becontree

Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Becontree

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

In and around Becontree, fire door work covers everything from clinics to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In a block of flats in Becontree, 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. Flat entrance door programmes in Becontree are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.

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.

What you get:

• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
