Flat entrance fire doors in Broadstairs

What flat entrance fire doors in Broadstairs should include

Looking for flat entrance fire doors in Broadstairs? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Broadstairs and the wider Kent area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Broadstairs has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, care homes and schools, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Broadstairs, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease. In a block of flats in Broadstairs, 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.

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:

• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
