Fire Door Installation in Torquay

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Torquay, our fire door installations follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

In short: 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.

Common questions in Torquay

Do you work in occupied buildings in Torquay?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Torquay can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Which fire safety law applies in Torquay?

Torquay 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.

Do you provide paperwork?

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

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.
