Flat entrance fire doors in Gillingham

Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Gillingham

If you need flat entrance fire doors in Gillingham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Gillingham, fire door work covers everything from care homes to purpose-built flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In a block of flats in Gillingham, 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 Gillingham 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:

• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Self-closer set to close and latch
