Flat entrance fire doors in Heston

Flat entrance fire doors for Heston buildings

We provide flat entrance fire doors in Heston (TW5 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

Around Heston, restaurants, clinics and hotels 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.

Flat entrance door programmes in Heston are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Heston, 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.

What you get:

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