01 / SUPPLY & INSTALLATION
One service for supply and installation
When you are arranging new fire doors, the product choice and the installation should be considered together. The door leaf, frame, seals, glazing and hardware form an arrangement with specific requirements. Choosing individual parts without considering their compatibility can create problems later. Our service brings the supply and installation discussion into one project, with the proposed scope explained before work is agreed.
We do not offer a supply-only service. Whether you need a single replacement or several doors in a managed building, tell us what the project involves and which documents you already hold. We can discuss the proposed installation, access arrangements and information needed for a quotation. An initial enquiry does not require you to know the exact product specification.

What we need before recommending a door
The starting point is the location and purpose of the opening. A flat entrance door, a shared corridor door and an internal door in a commercial space may have different requirements. Share any relevant specification, survey, fire risk assessment recommendations or instructions from your project team. This helps prevent assumptions about the performance or configuration needed.
We also need to understand the existing frame, surrounding construction and the condition of the opening. Approximate measurements and photographs are useful for an initial discussion, but they do not replace the checks needed to finalise the work. Tell us about glazing, access control, locks, closers and other features you want considered. We will discuss these as part of the proposed arrangement rather than as unrelated additions.

Product selection and the complete opening
It is natural to focus on the visible door finish, particularly in a home or reception area. However, the supporting information for the doorset also matters. The selected configuration needs to accommodate the intended components and installation method. A different handle, letterplate, glazed opening or frame detail is not automatically interchangeable simply because it looks similar.
Where an existing frame is proposed for retention, its suitability needs to be established. We do not assume that fitting a new leaf into an old opening will produce an appropriate result. The survey and available evidence inform whether the proposal is feasible or whether a different scope should be considered. Resolving these questions early makes the quotation and installation expectations clearer.

Planning work in occupied premises
Fire door installation often takes place while people continue to live or work in the building. Please tell us about occupied rooms, shared access routes, tenant arrangements and any restrictions on deliveries or working times. For a commercial site, identify who can provide access and authorise decisions. For a flat, confirm any managing-agent requirements before a date is agreed.
For multiple openings, a door schedule helps organise the work. Numbering doors consistently across plans, quotations and records reduces confusion, especially where similar doors are spread across several floors. We can discuss sequencing with you so that access considerations are understood. Timing depends on the agreed specification, product availability, the number of doors and the conditions at the property.

Installation records and scheme-covered work
TEK Fire Doors is the trading name of TEK Interiors Ltd. The business holds LPCB approval for installation under LPS 1271, as outlined in our approval information. Work completed under that scheme receives the applicable traceable labelling and Certificate of Conformity. The documents identify the work covered; they should be retained with the property records.
Before placing an order, ask what documentation will apply to the agreed scope and who will receive it at handover. Certification for a defined installation is not a blanket statement about every aspect of a building. Keeping the specification, door identification and completion records together makes future inspection and maintenance discussions more straightforward, particularly when management responsibilities change.

Fire door installers serving your part of London
We focus on London, with enquiries welcomed from North London, South East London, East London, Central London and the City of London. Our Bow contact address gives you a clear business point of contact. We discuss each project using the full postcode, building type and access details rather than assuming that all sites within a broad region have the same requirements.
For a City building, delivery arrangements and site access may need careful coordination. At a residential property, the priority may be agreeing entry with the occupier and understanding the available working space. Include these details when you request a quote. We will discuss the practical next step and any further information needed before confirming a programme.

Prepare a useful installation enquiry
To help us respond, include the number of doors, their locations, the property postcode and your preferred timeframe. If you have a report recommending replacement, describe the finding or make that report available for review. Photos of both sides of the opening, the frame and any existing identification may assist the initial conversation. Do not remove hardware or alter the door to obtain information.
Your quotation should relate to an understood scope. Clarify which openings are included, what is being supplied, whether existing components are to be retained and what finishing work is expected. Raising these questions before the project is agreed helps avoid mismatched expectations. If the scope changes after assessment, the proposed work and price should be revisited before proceeding.

Keep the installation information for future care
Once new doors are installed, their ongoing condition still matters. Everyday use, damage and later alterations can affect how they operate. Keep the handover information available and tell future contractors that components should not be changed without considering the supporting requirements. If a door becomes difficult to operate or does not close as expected, arrange appropriate attention.
Our maintenance service provides a route for discussing concerns after installation. If you are unsure whether an existing door needs maintenance or replacement, start by describing the issue rather than selecting a new door solely from a photograph. We can help you identify the appropriate next step. Contact TEK Fire Doors for a free supply and installation quotation.
PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Your questions answered
Do installation and installers searches refer to different services?
No. Our fire door installers deliver the combined supply and installation service described here. The scope is agreed for your property and the doors involved.
Can you use my existing door frame?
That depends on its condition, the proposed doorset arrangement and the supporting evidence. Retaining a frame should be assessed rather than assumed from a photograph or approximate measurements.
Can you confirm a completion date immediately?
Tell us your preferred deadline when you enquire. A programme needs to account for the specification, product availability, access and scope, so dates are confirmed for the particular project.
