Fire Door Installation in Watford

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

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 Watford.

Watford FAQs

Can you fit a fire door into the existing frame?

Sometimes, if the frame is sound, compatible with the new leaf and the leaf's evidence allows it. Often a complete doorset is cheaper over the door's life and easier to evidence.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Watford?

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

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 work in occupied buildings in Watford?

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