Fire Door Installation in Kent and Southeast England

Based in Canterbury, Kent, we bring over 40 years of combined joinery and construction experience to every fire door project we undertake.

Professional Fire Door Installation Services

Fire doors are critical life-safety components that must be installed correctly to perform their intended function. A poorly fitted fire door can fail to contain fire and smoke, putting lives at risk and leaving property owners liable for compliance failures. At IMI Fire Doors, we understand that proper fire door installation goes beyond basic fitting. It requires precision joinery skills, knowledge of fire safety regulations, and attention to the details that determine whether a door will perform correctly in a fire scenario.

Our installation services cover all types of fire-rated doors, from FD30 (30-minute fire resistance) to FD60 and FD120 specifications. We work with major fire door manufacturers and can source doors to match your specific requirements, whether you need timber fire doors for heritage properties, steel fire doors for industrial settings, or glazed fire doors where visibility is important.

Our joinery background means we can handle complex installations that standard fire door fitters might struggle with, including non-standard door frames, heritage buildings with irregular openings, and remedial installations where previous work has failed.

Our Fire Door Installation Process

Featured Project: Dover Discovery Centre

IMI Fire Doors was contracted to install 170 doors at the Dover Discovery Centre during its recent £7.5 million renovation project. This prestigious contract included the installation of 86 sets of fire doors throughout the building, requiring careful coordination with other trades and strict adherence to the project timeline. The Dover Discovery Centre project demonstrates our capability to handle large-scale commercial fire door installations while maintaining the high standards of workmanship and compliance our clients expect. Our work contributes to the safety of this important community facility, protecting both visitors and the building’s valuable historical exhibits from fire risk.

Step 1

Every fire door installation project begins with a site survey to assess the specific requirements of your property. We evaluate existing door openings, frame conditions, and any structural considerations that might affect installation. Preparation is key to a successful installation.

Step 2

We source doors from our manufacturing partners and carry out precision preparation in our workshop. This includes pre-fitting hardware, routing seal channels, and checking frame tolerances. This preparation work ensures efficient installation with minimal disruption at your property.

Step 3

Now it’s time for on-site installation. During installation, we follow strict procedures to ensure every component of the fire door assembly is fitted correctly. This includes the door leaf, frame, intumescent seals, smoke seals, hinges, closers, and any glazing or ventilation components.
