In and around Sunbury-on-Thames, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In a block of flats in Sunbury-on-Thames, 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 Sunbury-on-Thames, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.

Why flat front doors matter so much

In most blocks the fire strategy relies on each flat containing a fire for long enough that other residents can stay put or leave safely. The flat entrance door is the barrier that makes that work. A door without a working closer, with a missing seal or with a non-fire-rated letterplate can let smoke into the corridor within minutes.

In England, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 asks responsible persons in residential buildings above 11 metres to use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors at least every 12 months. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; our guide to the regulations for flats sets them out.

What you get:

• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
