Fire Door Installation in Chester

Chester landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door installations with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Chester.

Fire Door Installation in Chester: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chester?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Chester?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Do you provide paperwork?

Yes. You receive the product's certification or test evidence, an installation record and photographs for each door.
