Any commercial property, rental accommodation, HMO, school or public building must have its fire doors inspected to comply with fire safety laws. If you’re a landlord or business owner, the responsibility usually sits with you.
Communal fire doors in higher-risk buildings are typically checked every few months, and flat entrance doors at least annually. We’ll advise on the right schedule for your property and can handle it for you.
Non-compliant fire doors put lives at risk and can leave you legally liable. We’ll identify any issues in a clear report and carry out the repairs or replacements needed to bring them up to standard.
Yes — we supply and install certified fire doors and frames for both residential and commercial properties, using high-quality materials and trusted suppliers.
It depends on the number of doors, but most inspections are completed quickly with minimal disruption. We’ll give you a clear timescale upfront.
Many repairs and upgrades are completed in a single visit; larger installations are scheduled around you. We’ll confirm timings before we start.
