Our Rochester supply and fit service
For landlords, managing agents, businesses and homeowners in Rochester, we provide FD60 doorsets for compartment walls, cores and plant rooms with one fixed quote. A free survey comes first, then a door-by-door schedule, then installation to the manufacturer's instructions and a handover pack for your records.
Whether your building is in central Rochester or on its edges towards Chatham, survey and fitting dates are arranged around your access needs, with occupied buildings worked in planned phases.

Because Rochester is in England, the starting point is Approved Document B for the specification and the Fire Safety Order 2005 for ongoing duties. Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.
