Flat entrance fire door installation in Litherland

Flat entrance fire doors for Litherland buildings

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

Around Litherland, light industrial buildings, care homes and schools 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.

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

What you get:

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