Certified flat entrance fire doors for Margate
Getting flat entrance fire doors right in Margate means choosing a certified doorset for each opening and fitting it exactly as tested. That's the whole service: survey, schedule, certified doorset, careful installation and the paperwork to prove it.
Where possible we combine Margate surveys with other visits in Kent, such as Broadstairs and Ramsgate, which helps keep survey dates flexible.
Regulations for flat entrance fire doors in Kent
In Margate, 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.
