In Reading
Fire door projects in and around Reading.
Older properties in Reading 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 Reading
What's specific about fire door work in Reading.
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 Reading.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Reading's big student population means a lot of HMO bedroom-door programmes and purpose-built student accommodation. Vacation windows are tight — we plan installs around lease changeover.
Mixed property stock
Reading 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 Reading 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 Reading jobs are in occupied buildings — flats, HMOs, care, offices. We phase the work so people aren't displaced.
Service area
Where we cover around Reading.
On every door
What we actually check on a Reading install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Overall fit — does it actually self-close and latch from 30°?
- Frame condition, fixings and packing material
- Intumescent and smoke seal type, position and continuity
- Signage — fire door keep shut / keep locked, where required
- Closer model, force setting and whether it actually closes from any angle
- Architrave reinstatement without blocking the seal
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
