Fire Door Installation in Dorset: questions
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Dorset?
Dorset 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.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Dorset?
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.
