Adaston & Dorplan – Achieving Fire Door Excellence Together
Adaston and Quelfire Partnership
For the supply of high-quality fire doors able to meet a wide range of requirements, Adaston relies on Dorplan as part of its network of manufacturers. Dorplan’s wide catalogue and exacting standards match Adaston’s own commitment to quality and versatility for whatever work a client needs.
The two companies have worked together on several major projects, most recently Dean House, a student accommodation block in Lewisham, London. It was here that the relationship was forged under pressure, with Dorplan delivering market-leading delivery times of two weeks from the point of order—beating out even their own normal high standard of six weeks! This commitment to timely manufacturing without sacrificing quality was remarkable, and is emblematic of Dorplan’s professionalism and expertise in the field.
A Testimonial From Declan Berry
All of Dorplan’s fire doors are certified under the BMTrada Q-mark scheme, an industry gold standard for compliance and safety. Therefore, Dorplan were the perfect fit for Adaston’s certified and quality-driven approach.
The doors arrived onsite pre-hung in their frames and pre-finished, massively saving installation time and getting the client the end result they wanted in the shortest possible time.
The fact that these doors were built to the client’s designs rather than being ‘off the rack’ adds just another layer to the brilliant service Dorplan offered in collaboration with Adaston. According to Adaston’s Technical Manager, Declan Berry:
“Dorplan offer an exceptional level of service and are very much customer focused, the quality of product they deliver is to the highest of standards. Any project challenges are dealt with efficiently and a solution is always found. We are excited to develop our working relationship even further.”
The Impact of Expert Knowledge
For a fire door to be safe and compliant, it needs the proper fixtures for the whole surrounding. No doorset is complete without proper ironmongery, and Dorplan design and manufacture their ironmongery at the same time as the doors themselves. This ensures that quality testing can happen as soon as possible, and that delivery of the two elements happens in one go.
This seamless delivery is a core part of the Dorplan model and the combined solution reduces wait times onsite, offering the best quality to installation partners and customers alike.
For particularly difficult or detailed jobs, such as Dean House, Dorplan have consistently gone above and beyond to match Adaston’s same ethos: Dorplan’s project manager worked overtime to ensure that the doorsets were finished and out for delivery on time, to keep to the customer’s tight schedule.
Dorplan's Support of Adaston's Work
Dorplan has been consistently impressed with Adaston’s dedication—both the quality and speed of work undertaken. Speaking about his long-running relationship with Adaston’s Technical Manager, Declan Berry, Quentin Evershed from Dorplan had this to say:
“I love the hustle your team has got. Working with Declan is fast-paced and Adaston as a business is consistently trustworthy. The loyalty and quality assurance we get from the Adaston team is priceless and contact has been really strong and consistent.”
