FAQs
What areas do you cover?
We’re based in Wickford, Kent, and carry out most of our work across Kent and Southeast London. However, we serve clients throughout the wider Southeast region. Whether you’re in Dover, Canterbury, Maidstone, or parts of South London, we can help with your fire door installation, inspection, or maintenance needs.
What makes IMI Fire Doors different from other installers?
We’re experienced joiners first, with over 20 years of specialist door-fitting expertise. This means we can handle complex installations that standard fitters might struggle with — heritage properties, non-standard door frames, or remedial work where existing installations have failed. Our joinery background ensures fire doors are fitted properly, not just to minimum compliance standards, but to actually work as intended in real-world conditions.
Do fire doors need regular inspections?
Yes. Fire doors must be inspected regularly to ensure they’re still capable of preventing fire spread. Hinges wear, seals degrade, and closers fail over time — all of which can compromise a door’s performance. We’re approved by UK Fire Door Training to carry out both installations and inspections, and we can identify issues before they become compliance problems or, more importantly, safety risks.
