Non-compliant fire doors put lives at risk and leave YOU legally liable. We install, inspect, and replace fire doors to the highest certified standards — so you don’t have to worry.
The Responsible Person — landlord, building manager, or employer — is personally liable for fire door compliance. Non-compliance can result in unlimited fines, criminal prosecution, and imprisonment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
If a fire occurs and your fire doors are found to be non-compliant, your building insurance claim can be rejected entirely. Insurers routinely check fire door compliance as part of any claim investigation.
A compliant fire door holds back flames and toxic smoke for 30 to 60 minutes. A non-compliant door can fail in under 10 minutes. In a real fire, that difference is the difference between life and death for the people in your building.
Since the Grenfell Tower tragedy, fire safety enforcement has dramatically increased. The Fire Safety Act 2021 and Building Safety Act 2022 give authorities stronger powers to prosecute. Don’t wait for an inspection to find out you’re not compliant.
If you fall into any of these categories, you are legally required to have compliant fire doors. No exceptions.
All licensed HMOs must have FD30 fire doors on every habitable room. This is a mandatory condition of your HMO licence — failure to comply can result in prosecution and loss of your licence.
Flat entrance doors and doors to communal areas must be fire-rated. The Building Safety Act 2022 requires quarterly checks on communal fire doors and annual checks on flat entrance doors in higher-risk buildings.
Educational buildings must have compliant fire doors throughout as part of their fire risk assessment. Fire doors protect escape routes, stairwells, and high-risk areas like kitchens and boiler rooms.
The Responsible Person in any commercial building is legally required to maintain fire doors as part of the premises’ fire safety measures. This applies to offices, retail, warehouses, and mixed-use buildings.
Healthcare and residential care facilities require the highest fire door standards. Vulnerable and immobile residents depend on fire doors to provide critical evacuation time in an emergency.
Social housing providers have a duty to ensure all properties meet fire safety standards. Mass fire door replacement programmes are often required to bring entire portfolios into compliance.
