Fire Door Installation in Canterbury

Canterbury 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 Canterbury.

Questions from Canterbury clients

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.

Can you price remedial work in Canterbury from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Canterbury, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Canterbury?

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

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.
