Fire Door Installers and Inspectors in Oxford

Sentinel Projects provides fire door inspection, installation, remediation and passive fire stopping across Oxford and the surrounding area. From college and university buildings to commercial premises and residential blocks, we deliver fire door compliance to a standard the setting demands. We are FireQual-qualified and BlueSky-certified.

Compliance in a historic city

Much of Oxford's building stock is old, protected, or both. That changes how fire door work has to be done. A listed college building or a period commercial property cannot be treated like a new-build, and a contractor who does not recognise the difference can cause damage that costs far more than the doors.

We approach historic buildings by keeping what we can. Fire door remediation in Oxford upgrades existing doors to the required rating without stripping out original joinery, and where replacement is unavoidable, our fire door installation specifies a certified doorset sympathetic to the setting. Start with a fire door inspection in Oxford, and see our guide to installation cost for a sense of Oxford prices.

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.
