Fire Door Installation in Durham: 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.

Do you cover the area around Durham?

Yes. As well as Durham itself we cover nearby towns including Chester-le-Street, Houghton-Le-Spring and Stanley.

Do you provide paperwork?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Durham?

Durham is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
