Fire Door Installation & Repairs — Professional & Compliant
Fire doors are a critical element of a building’s passive fire protection system. When correctly specified, installed and maintained, they help to contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and give occupants vital time to evacuate safely.
Our fire door installation and repair services ensure your doors perform exactly as intended and remain fully compliant with current fire safety legislation and British Standards.
Why Correct Fire Door Installation Matters
Even a certified fire door will fail if it is poorly installed or incorrectly repaired. Issues such as excessive gaps, damaged seals, unsuitable ironmongery or incorrect fixings can significantly reduce fire resistance.
Professional installation ensures that:
Fire and smoke spread is effectively controlled
Escape routes remain protected
Legal and insurance requirements are met
Inspection failures and enforcement action are avoided
Fire Door Installation Services
We supply and install certified fire doorsets tailored to your building’s use, risk profile and regulatory requirements. All installations are carried out by trained, competent technicians and in line with manufacturer instructions and recognised standards. Our installation service includes:
Correct door leaf, frame and lining installation
Accurate gap tolerances between door and frame
Installation of compliant hinges, closers and ironmongery
Fitting of intumescent and smoke seals
Glazing and apertures installed to certification requirements
Appropriate signage and final compliance checks
Each installation is completed with documentation to support compliance and future inspections.
Fire Door Repairs & Remedial Works
Fire doors can become non-compliant over time due to wear, impact damage, building movement or unauthorised alterations. Where doors fail inspection, repairs must be carried out correctly to restore performance — not simply patched or adjusted.
Our fire door repair services include:
Adjustment or replacement of hinges and closers
Repair of damaged door leaves or frames
Replacement of intumescent and smoke seals
Correction of excessive gaps and alignment issues
Repair or replacement of glazing systems
Ironmongery upgrades to compliant specifications
Where a door cannot be economically or safely repaired, we will clearly advise on replacement options.
Compliance & Legal Responsibilities
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure fire doors are:
Suitable for their location and use
Correctly installed
Maintained in efficient working order
Fire doors are also subject to inspection under guidance such as BS 9999, and failures can lead to enforcement notices, fines, or increased risk to life.
Integration With Fire Door Inspections
Our installation and repair services work seamlessly alongside fire door inspections, allowing identified defects to be rectified quickly and professionally. This helps maintain compliance and avoids repeat failures during audits or enforcement visits.
BM TRADA Certification — Assured Fire Door Competence
Our fire door installation and repair services are carried out in accordance with third-party certification schemes operated by BM TRADA, a leading authority in fire door testing, certification and quality assurance.
BM TRADA certification provides independent verification that fire doorsets are installed and repaired by competent personnel, using approved methods and certified components, in line with manufacturer instructions and recognised industry standards.
This certification is widely recognised by enforcing authorities, insurers and building control bodies, giving confidence that fire doors have been installed and maintained correctly and will perform as intended in the event of a fire.
