Fire Door Installation in Margate

From the CT9 district outwards, we cover Margate and neighbouring towns such as Saint Peters and Broadstairs 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. We use the same method for buildings in Margate.

Fire Door Installation in Margate: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Margate?

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

Do you provide paperwork?

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

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

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

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.
