Flat entrance fire doors in Wallasey

Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Wallasey

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Wallasey, we offer flat entrance fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

In and around Wallasey, fire door work covers everything from schools to high-street shops. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Flat entrance door programmes in Wallasey are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Wallasey, 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
