Flat entrance fire doors in Felling

Flat entrance fire doors for Felling buildings

Our flat entrance fire doors service covers Felling and the wider Tyne and Wear area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Buildings in and around Felling range from care homes to light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
• Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
