Introduction
The safety of a fire door is only as good as its installation. We ensure your entire door set is compliant, certified, and correctly fitted, guaranteed by the UK’s leading standards.
Why Competent Installation is Non-Negotiable
Hodgson Fire provides fully certified installation services, eliminating the common risks associated with non-compliant fitting.
- The Entire Door Set A fire door rating relies on the leaf, frame, hinges, seals, and ironmongery working together. We only install complete, compatible, and tested fire-rated door sets.
- Eliminating Fire Gaps Incorrect gaps around the door frame are a major compliance failure. We meticulously ensure permissible tolerances (typically 2-4mm) are met, crucial for the integrity of intumescent seals.
- Full Regulatory Compliance Post-installation, we provide the essential certification and documentation for your Golden Thread of information, vital for meeting your obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022.
Our Certified Installation Programme
Our four-step process ensures every fire door we install provides the critical life safety protection required.
- 1. Initial Site Survey and Specification Before any work begins, our specialists conduct a meticulous survey to determine the exact requirements, including the necessary fire rating (e.g., FD30, FD60) and the precise size and structural compatibility of the replacement door set.
- 2. Sourcing Certified Door Sets We only source and supply fully tested and certified door sets from recognised manufacturers. This includes fire-rated timber or composite doors, compatible frames, and certified intumescent and smoke seals.
- 3. Expert Installation and Fire Stopping The door set is installed by our accredited professionals, paying rigorous attention to frame alignment, compliant gap sizes, and the correct fitting of all ironmongery (including self-closing devices). Any perimeter gaps are correctly sealed using certified fire stopping materials.
- 4. Commissioning and Handover Certification Upon completion, the door is commissioned to ensure proper function. You receive a full installation certificate, a photographic record of the work, and updated asset tags for your fire safety records.
