Flat entrance fire doors in Wishaw: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wishaw, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Wishaw protect escape routes in care homes, schools and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
In a block of flats in Wishaw, 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 Wishaw, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references

Common questions

What happens on a survey in Wishaw?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
