Fire door installers serving Derby.
We don't do kitchens, we don't do decking, we don't bolt fire doors onto a snag list at the end of a refurb. It's the only thing we do, all over Derby. That's the short pitch.

In Derby
Fire door projects in and around Derby.
Older properties in Derby usually mean the existing frame's out of square by a fair bit. You can't just plane the door down to fit — it stops being a tested set the second you do. We line and pack the frame instead, keep the door spec intact.
Why Derby
What's specific about fire door work in Derby.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Derby.
Mixed-use buildings and commercial fit-outs
Derby has a lot of shops with flats above and offices over retail. Compartmentation between residential and commercial is where assessors push hardest, and where most of our remedial work sits.
Mixed property stock
Derby has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.
Tighter assessor scrutiny
Fire risk assessors covering Derby are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.
Working around occupants
Most Derby jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.

On every door
What we actually check on a Derby install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
- Glazing apertures — bead type, pin spacing, intumescent under bead
- Hinge gauge, count and certification — three minimum on a fire door
- Threshold detail and any cold smoke seal at the bottom
- Latch and lock case fire-rated and CE/UKCA marked

FAQ
Fire door questions from Derby.
Will you take the old doors away?
Yes, removal and disposal are in the standard quote for Derby jobs unless you want them left on site for some reason.
Can you work in occupied buildings in Derby?
All the time. HMOs, flats, care, commercial. Phased works, dust kept down, residents and staff respected.
What ironmongery do you use?
Only certified components compatible with the door's tested spec. CE/UKCA-marked hinges, closers, latches, seals. No bodges.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in Derby and it's an installation issue, we come back and sort it. That's part of the workmanship guarantee.
Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Derby be brought back into compliance?
Honestly — a lot of doors fail because of gaps, seals or wrong ironmongery, not the door itself. We'll tell you straight on the survey whether your Derby doors are remediable or if they're past it.
