Fire Door Installation in Dover

From the CT17 district outwards, we cover Dover and neighbouring towns such as Folkestone and Deal for fire door installations.

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.

Dover FAQs

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dover?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Dover 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 provide paperwork?

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