Fire Door Installation in Bedford

From the MK40 district outwards, we cover Bedford and neighbouring towns such as Ampthill and Saint Neots for fire door installations.

Fire door installation is the supply and fitting of a fire-resisting door, ideally as a complete doorset of leaf, frame, seals and hardware, installed exactly as its test evidence and the manufacturer's instructions require, so the finished door performs as tested. We use the same method for buildings in Bedford.

Bedford FAQs

Do you cover the area around Bedford?

Yes. As well as Bedford itself we cover nearby towns including Ampthill, Saint Neots and Rushden.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bedford?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Bedford is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.

What is the difference between a fire door and a fire doorset?

A fire door often means just the leaf. A doorset is the complete assembly, leaf, frame, seals and hardware, tested and supplied together. Doorsets remove much of the guesswork from installation and are usually the better choice for replacements.
