A door should open smoothly, close securely and sit neatly within its frame. Although this may sound straightforward, achieving a precise and lasting fit requires considerable skill. The task becomes even more important when the door forms part of a fire safety system.

Contact us TodayEven a high quality door will perform poorly if someone installs it incorrectly. Small errors in measurement or alignment can cause the door to stick, scrape against the floor or leave uneven gaps. The latch may not engage properly, while loose or unsuitable hinges can affect security and stability.
A skilled carpenter considers the complete opening before beginning the installation. This includes the door leaf, frame, lining, hinges, latch and surrounding structure. Careful preparation allows the finished door to move freely and close correctly.
Professional fitting can also improve the appearance of a room. Consistent gaps, neatly recessed hinges and accurately positioned handles create a refined finish. Furthermore, correct installation helps protect the door and frame from premature wear.
Our carpentry and joinery services include door hanging, door repairs, lock fitting and frame alterations. We approach every project with care, whether we are replacing one internal door or installing several doors across a commercial property.
Get in Touch TodayFire doors serve a far more important purpose than ordinary internal doors. They form part of the passive fire protection within a building. When correctly specified, installed and maintained, they can help restrict the spread of fire and smoke for a defined period.
However, a fire door is not simply a heavier door leaf. It forms part of a complete doorset. The leaf, frame, hinges, closer, seals, latch, glazing and other ironmongery must be compatible with the tested specification. Altering one component without proper consideration may compromise the performance of the entire assembly.
Consequently, fire door hanging requires specialist knowledge as well as carpentry skills. Coreworks Property Services has completed FireQual approved training and is an Affiliate member of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers. Our team provides professional fire door installation, inspection and remedial work for domestic and commercial properties.
Book Certified InstallersThe need for a fire door depends upon the building, its layout, its use and the relevant legal requirements. Fire doors commonly appear along protected escape routes, between houses and integral garages, at flat entrances and within shared residential buildings. They are also important in offices, shops, care settings, houses in multiple occupation and other commercial premises.
England has specific requirements for checking certain doors in multi occupied residential buildings. Government guidance explains the duties placed upon Responsible Persons under the Fire Safety Order and the Fire Safety England Regulations 2022. The appropriate inspection arrangements depend upon the building and the type of door involved. Therefore, landlords and property managers should seek advice based on their particular premises. Current requirements are explained in the official government fire door guidance.
Building work must also follow the applicable regulations. Approved Document B provides statutory guidance concerning fire safety in dwellings and other buildings in England.
Talk to Our Fire Safety ExpertsProblems often develop gradually. A door may begin rubbing against its frame or require additional force to close. While these faults can appear minor, they may indicate movement, wear or poor alignment.
Visible damage should also prompt further investigation. Cracks, holes, loose hinges and damaged frames can all affect a door. With fire doors, missing seals, unsuitable ironmongery and excessive gaps may present additional concerns.
You should arrange an assessment if a fire door does not close completely without assistance. The same applies when the latch fails to engage or the door catches on the floor. Painting over certification markings or replacing components without checking compatibility can also create problems.
Some defects may only require adjustment or suitable remedial work. However, extensive damage could make replacement the more appropriate choice. A professional inspection can establish the condition of the complete doorset and identify a proportionate solution.

Speak to an InstallerYes. We install internal and external doors alongside certified fire doors. We can also repair sticking or damaged doors, adjust frames and fit suitable locks and ironmongery.
Fire door installation demands specific knowledge of doorsets, certification, gaps, seals and compatible components. Choosing a suitably trained professional reduces the risk of installation errors that could compromise performance.
Some defects can be resolved through appropriate remedial work. However, the correct solution depends upon the damage and the door’s specification. A professional inspection can determine whether repair remains suitable or replacement is necessary.
The suitable frequency depends upon the building, legal duties, risk assessment and intensity of use. Certain residential buildings are subject to specific inspection requirements. Responsible Persons should follow current government guidance and arrange more frequent checks where conditions warrant them.
