About door installer services
A FENSA or CERTASS registered installer self-certifies the work; otherwise it needs a Building Control notification, and a buyer's solicitor will ask for the certificate. Internal doors are simpler, except in a loft conversion or flat, where fire doors with the right closers are a Building Regulations requirement rather than an option.
