Fire Door Installation in Somerset

inDoors carries out fire door installation in Somerset and across Devon for:

• Landlords and property managers
  
• Care homes and supported living facilities
  
• Hotels and guest houses
  
• HMOs and flats
  
• Churches and community buildings
  
• Private homeowners

Whether you require a single replacement door or a full-site installation, each project is approached methodically, with attention to compliance and long-term performance.

Fire doors cannot be treated like standard internal doors. Each element plays a role in fire resistance performance, including:

• Intumescent strips and smoke seals
  
• Certified hinges and ironmongery
  
• Approved door closers
  
• Correct gap tolerances
  
• Appropriate signage where required

Not all fire doors can be trimmed like standard doors. Removing too much material can invalidate certification. Where necessary, inDoors arranges correctly sized doors to maintain compliance rather than compromising safety.

If you are also exploring full internal upgrades, you can view our comprehensive door supply options here.

The Fire Door Inspection Scheme and third-party certification bodies stress that installation errors are one of the most common causes of fire door failure.

Industry guidance from the British Woodworking Federation explains why professional installation is essential. Read more. 

By choosing inDoors, you are working with a certified specialist rather than a general tradesperson fitting fire doors occasionally.

Q: Do I legally need fire doors in my property?
Fire doors are mandatory in certain commercial buildings, flats, HMOs and multi-occupancy properties. Requirements vary depending on layout and building type. Always check the official Building Regulations guidance.

Q: How often should fire doors be inspected?
Commercial premises typically require regular documented inspections. High-traffic buildings such as care homes may require more frequent checks.

Q: Can an existing internal door be upgraded to a fire door?
In most cases, no. Fire doors must be manufactured and certified as fire-rated products. Upgrading a standard internal door is rarely compliant.

Q: Do you provide both supply and installation?
Yes. inDoors offers a full supply and fit service, reducing risk and ensuring compatibility between door, frame and hardware.
