Fire Door Installation in Chichester

From the PO19 district outwards, we cover Chichester and neighbouring towns such as Bognor Regis and Havant 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.

Common questions in Chichester

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chichester?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Chichester?

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

Do you provide paperwork?

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

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.
