Flat entrance fire doors in Muswell Hill

Flat entrance fire doors in Muswell Hill: what's involved

We provide flat entrance fire doors in Muswell Hill (N10 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

In and around Muswell Hill, fire door work covers everything from care homes to restaurants. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In a block of flats in Muswell Hill, 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 Muswell Hill, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

Who pays and who decides?

Flat entrance doors often sit on the boundary between the leaseholder's flat and the freeholder's building. Ownership depends on the lease, and leaseholder consent, landlord consent and Section 20 consultation can all come into it. We work with freeholders, managing agents, housing providers and individual leaseholders, and our responsibility guide covers the common questions.

Each installation includes:

• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Self-closer set to close and latch
