Read the scope as well as the badge
The main credentials shown on our site are LPS 1197, LPS 1271, FPA membership, SafeContractor and BM TRADA Q-Mark. These names represent different forms of approval, certification or membership. They should not be read as interchangeable, and none replaces the supporting evidence for the individual door arrangement in your building.
When appointing a provider, ask for the current certificate and the scope relevant to the work. Check the business identity and the activities covered. TEK Fire Doors is a trading name of Tek Interiors Ltd, so the legal business name matters when matching documentation. The purpose is to understand what an approval covers rather than relying only on a visual logo.
02 / ABOUT
Installation and maintenance are separate scopes
Our LPCB installation approval is under LPS 1271. Work completed under the scheme receives the applicable traceable labelling and Certificate of Conformity identifying the work covered. Keep that information with the property records and ask what will be provided for the scope being quoted.
LPS 1197 concerns our inspection, maintenance and repair under term contracts for hinged and pivoted timber fire doorsets. That wording has limits: it is not approval for every material, every repair method or every possible building service. FPA membership is presented separately as membership. Additional registrations and checks shown on the site have their own purposes and should be understood on that basis.

Approval and membership mean different things
TEK Fire Doors is a trading name of Tek Interiors Ltd. Our published approval information distinguishes LPS 1271 installation from LPS 1197 inspection, maintenance and repair under term contracts for hinged and pivoted timber fire doorsets. Ask which scheme and documentation apply to the particular work being proposed. The scope of an approval matters as much as the presence of a logo.
FPA membership is presented as membership, separately from third-party certification of work. Other badges also have their own purposes and should not be treated as proof of the fire performance of an individual door. Keep the evidence for the actual product and installation with the property. We can discuss the relevant documentation when reviewing your proposed service.
04 / ABOUT
Agree the scope before work starts
A clear quotation should identify the openings and the service being requested. Establish whether the task is inspection, combined supply and installation, or maintenance of existing doors. These activities have different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable. If an assessment identifies additional information or a revised proposal, that needs to be discussed before assuming that the original scope remains appropriate.
For a managed building, identify the person who can authorise the work and receive the documentation. Occupiers, property owners and managing agents may each have a role in arranging access or approving changes. Provide any building-wide specification at the outset so that the proposal is considered against the actual requirements. A convenient date or preferred finish should not replace this preparation.
05 / ABOUT
Keep the information with the property
Good records make the next inspection or maintenance enquiry easier to organise. Keep the agreed specification, door identification, relevant installation documents and subsequent findings together. A door reference should be understandable to someone who did not attend the original visit. For a larger building, linking references to a plan can help new staff locate the correct opening.
Documentation should describe its actual scope. An installation certificate is not a blanket statement that every part of a building complies with all fire-safety requirements. Likewise, a maintenance record should not imply that inaccessible doors were checked. If there are limitations, outstanding actions or work outside the agreed service, those points should remain clear when information is passed to the next responsible person.
06 / ABOUT
Think about the complete doorset
The visible door leaf is only part of the arrangement. The frame, glazing, seals, hardware and installation details all need to be considered together. A component that fits physically is not automatically an appropriate substitute. Similarly, a visually matching replacement may have different supporting requirements. Product decisions should reflect the intended location and the information available for the system.
Existing openings need particular care where some components are proposed for retention. A frame should not be assumed suitable simply because it appears undamaged in a photograph. Share what is known about the existing door and the surrounding construction. Resolving uncertainty before ordering helps avoid a proposal based only on dimensions, appearance or a generic product description.

London coverage and a clear point of contact
TEK Fire Doors focuses on London, including North London, South East London, East London, Central London and the City of London. Our business contact address is Hillstone Court, Empson Street, Bow, London E3 3LT. Give the full site address with an enquiry so we can discuss the practical arrangements for that property rather than relying on a broad area name.
You can contact us on 020 7118 0699 or email [email protected]. We offer free quotations for the services we provide. Include the intended timeframe and any information already available about the doors. We will discuss the next step for your request; an initial conversation does not itself confirm the scope, an appointment or the suitability of a particular product.

Request a free quotation
Contact us with the details of your property and a short explanation of the outcome you need. If you are comparing quotations, make sure each relates to the same openings, product requirements and work. Ask what is included, what depends on further assessment and what documentation is expected. A total price is easier to understand when the underlying scope is clear.
Our services are fire door inspection, fire door supply and installation, and fire door maintenance. We do not provide a supply-only service. If you are unsure which service applies, choose Other / Need Advice when enquiring or call the team. Explain the situation in your own words and we can help clarify what information is needed next.
