Fire Door Installation in Somerset

Across Somerset, from Bath to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door installations for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.

Fire Door Installation: 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 by town in Somerset

Fire Door Installation in Somerset: 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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Somerset?

Somerset is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you cover the area around Somerset?

Yes. As well as Somerset itself we cover nearby towns including Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton.
