From the DA1 district outwards, we cover Dartford and neighbouring towns such as Bexley and Swanley for fire door installations.

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.

Fire Door Installation in Dartford: questions

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 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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Dartford?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dartford?

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