Door Consultancy

Fire Door Consultants – Approved Door Consultancy Ltd

Early Engagement Consultancy

Experience has shown that early involvement to prepare for tender is key to ensuring door products meet all considered aspects of design. For example, the number of variables is extensive, such as; acoustics, DDA legislation, colourways for the partially sighted, choice on glazing and more, all influencing the end product. 

Careful consideration can ensure that resulting products are engineered in a considered manner, avoiding unnecessary complexities, yet delivering on the needs of the overall design.

Early engagement with Approved Door Consultancy offers the opportunity to explore a number of aspects that can sometimes be overlooked, allowing your new doors to be better matched to your needs. Our in-depth knowledge of manufacturing and installing specialist fire rated doorsets gives us the means to consider the method of construction within the given Field of Application document for any given door core, becoming a fully complete doorset. This will include consideration of all elements and components used and engineered to form the constructed doorset as a whole.

This level of knowledge means that our involvement with your Door and Ironmongery specification allows you full confidence in your door choices and their overall suitability for your building or project.

Doorset Specification Writing

Doorset manufacture and installation, are both key to successful doorset performance contributing to a project’s overall legacy.

It is important for doorsets to be manufactured and installed in line with a well written and considered specification (i.e., NBS L20).

With a well written specification prepared, this will be key to ensuring the variety of doorsets you need to procure, are to those exacting standards.

An impartial yet thorough specification prepared by Approved Door Consultancy, will ensure all elements of your doorset design and installation are undiluted nor weakened.

We will detail aspects including; door core types, timber species, door appearances, glazing systems, acoustics, locking systems, installation methods (including fixing types & regularity), architrave detail and more.

Our approach will provide a detailed specification for all door types, not a ‘one size fits all’ approach as some assumptions can mean some key aspects become overlooked. Our in-depth knowledge of manufacturing and installing specialist fire rated doorsets gives us the means to consider the method of construction within the given Field of Application document for any given door core, becoming a fully complete doorset. This will include consideration of all elements and components used and engineered to form the constructed doorset as a whole.

Door and Ironmongery Specification Review

Have you been working to an existing specification for some time?

Although continuous like for like ordering can ease your procurement process, with ongoing product developments or ever-changing building usage, would now be the right time to review your specification prior to further investment in new doors for your building?

Repair Consultancy

Approved Door Consultancy are well placed to offer guidance and advice on fire door repairs after we have completed a fire door compliance survey.

Repairs and the involvement of carrying out repairs, can be extremely tricky and as such you are best guided to use a competent company to advise what repairs would be acceptable to which door(s) and which doors are not viable for repair. Doing so, you will have complete peace of mind knowing that the door performance and condition of your entire fire door stock is compliant.

Our experience and skills having worked for over 16 years under the BM Trada Q-Mark Fire Door Manufacture, Installation and Maintenance schemes, places us in a good position to review your doors on a door-by-door basis and create a scope of works to be undertaken.

It is worth being aware, that repairs undertaken or agreed by an inexperienced fire door surveyor, may further damage your fire doors, further limiting their ability to perform in the event of a fire. Talk to us about the potential use of repairs available to you, along with how we can help you deliver on these works. Our fire door specification, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, ensures that repairs enhance the effiectiveness of your fire doors.
