Everything You Get With Our Fire Door Installation Service

• FD30 and FD60 fire door installation
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals

• Compliance with building regulations
• Certification and documentation

Properties in and around Petham fall under Canterbury City Council, with the closest major route being the A2. We've completed fire door installation jobs from the CT1 core out to surrounding villages like Canterbury.

Common Considerations for Canterbury Properties

• Medieval buildings with walls that are neither plumb nor level — every measurement must be taken on site
• Student rental properties requiring hard-wearing, durable finishes
• Archaeological sensitivity in the city centre potentially affecting ground works for garden projects

Petham's position near the A2 and A28 junctions gives it a distinctive character, and the homes here reflect that. We tailor our fire door installation approach to suit — drawing on years of experience working in this exact area.

How a Typical Project in Petham Runs

Every fire door installation project we take on in Petham follows the same clear sequence, so you always know what happens next:

1. 1

   Door Assessment

   We check your existing frames, measure the openings, and advise on the best door style and size for each room. Materials are checked against the Petham quote before this stage starts.

2. 2

   Door Selection

   Choose from our range of internal doors — oak, pine, glazed, panelled, or contemporary flush designs — or supply your own. Materials are checked against the Petham quote before this stage starts.

3. 3

   Frame Preparation

   We repair or replace door frames and linings as needed, ensuring they are plumb, level, and ready for hanging. On fire door installation jobs in Petham this is where most of the questions get answered.

4. 4

   Precision Hanging

   Each door is trimmed to fit, hinges are recessed flush, and the door is hung with even gaps all round for smooth operation. This is where the detail of your fire door installation in Petham gets pinned down.

5. 5

   Hardware & Completion

   Handles, latches, locks, and any draught excluders are fitted. We test every door and clean up completely. Older Petham properties often need extra care here, so we allow time for it.

Timings are confirmed in writing before the first day on site in Petham.
