Double fire doors in Strood: how we work
We fit double and leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets in Strood and the rest of Kent. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Strood is about 9 miles from Maidstone; we cover both, along with Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham.
What the law says in Strood
In Strood, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.
