Fire Door Installers and Inspectors in Cambridge

Sentinel Projects provides fire door inspection, installation, remediation and passive fire stopping across Cambridge and the surrounding area. We work across the city's education estate, its commercial buildings and its many older and listed properties, where fire door work needs a careful hand. We are FireQual-qualified and BlueSky-certified.

Fire doors in Cambridge's older buildings

Cambridge has a building stock unlike most towns: college estates, listed buildings and period properties sit alongside modern commercial and research space. Fire door compliance in a listed or historic building is a genuine challenge, because you have to meet the fire standard without damaging protected fabric or losing original features.

This is work we understand. In heritage settings, fire door remediation in Cambridge is often the right route, keeping and upgrading existing wooden doors rather than stripping them out. Where a certified doorset is needed, our fire door installation specifies one that meets the rating and respects the building, and a fire door inspection in Cambridge tells you which doors need which.

Common questions

Yes. We regularly work on college and listed buildings, where fire door work has to respect the building's character alongside meeting the fire rating.

No. A survey is a paid, booked service, not a free look-around before you decide. It is real work that tells you exactly where your doors stand.

Around half a day for standard remediation on a single door. Larger jobs take longer, and a survey gives you a specific figure first.
