What Is a Fire Door Certificate?
A Fire Door Certificate is an official paper that says a fire door has been put in, checked, or fixed in a way that meets British Standards and UK fire safety laws.
Why Fire Door Certification Is Important
Fire doors may look fine, but they may not meet legal or technical standards. Certification shows in writing that the door meets fire safety standards and that all legal obligations have been met.
Inspection vs Certification vs Survey
- Inspection: Technical condition check of a fire door
- Certification: Formal proof of compliance
- Survey: Full audit of multiple fire doors within a building
When a Fire Door Certificate Is Required
You usually need a fire door certificate after putting in a new door, after an inspection or repair, and for licensing applications, insurance verification, compliance audits, or enforcement checks.
What Is a Fire Door Inspection?
A fire door inspection is a planned check of how well a fire door works, how well it meets fire safety standards, and how well it meets the manufacturer’s requirements.
What Our Fire Door Inspections Include
- Door leaf and frame integrity
- Door gaps and alignment (2–4mm tolerance)
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Hinges, closers, locks, handles, and signage
- Certification labels and markings
Digital Reports With Photographic Evidence
Each inspection comes with a digital report for each door, along with photos that clearly show the compliance status and any defects that were found.
Pass / Fail Results & Recommendations
Each fire door gets a clear pass or fail result. When defects are found, practical suggestions are given to fix them so that the rules are followed again.

Fire Door Repair And Remedial Works
Can Fire Doors Be Repaired?
Yes. Fire doors can often be repaired rather than replaced, provided they can be restored to their full certified fire-resisting performance using approved repair methods and compliant components. In many cases, defects relate to wear, incorrect installation, or damaged hardware rather than structural failure of the entire door set. Where performance can be safely reinstated, repair is a cost-effective and compliant solution.
Common Fire Door Repairs
Common remedial works include replacing damaged or missing intumescent and smoke seals, correcting excessive or insufficient door gaps, and realigning doors that do not close properly. Repairs may also involve adjusting, repairing, or replacing faulty self-closing devices, upgrading hinges or non-compliant ironmongery, and reinstating correct fire door labelling and compliance markings. Each repair is assessed carefully to ensure the door can achieve its required fire rating.
Certified Repair Methods
All repairs are carried out using manufacturer-approved components and industry-recognised repair techniques. We follow current British Standards and best-practice guidance to ensure the integrity of the door set is not compromised.
Re-Inspection After Repairs
Once remedial works are completed, fire doors are re-inspected to verify compliance. Where required, doors are re-certified to confirm they meet performance and safety standards.
Fire Door Installation Services
Certified Fire Door Installers
Fire door installation is completed by trained and competent engineers working in accordance with current British Standards and recognised fire safety guidance. Proper installation is critical, as even certified doors can fail if incorrectly fitted.
FD30 vs FD60 Fire Doors
FD30 fire doors are designed to provide 30 minutes of fire resistance, while FD60 fire doors provide 60 minutes of fire resistance. The correct fire rating depends on the building’s fire risk assessment, fire strategy, and compartmentation requirements.
Residential & Commercial Installations
We install fire doors across a wide range of premises, including flats, HMOs, offices, retail stores, healthcare facilities, and industrial environments. Each installation is tailored to the building type and risk profile to ensure full compliance and effective life protection.
Installation Standards
All installations are completed in line with recognised fire safety legislation, building regulations, and tested installation methods. This ensures that door sets, frames, hardware, and seals function together as a complete certified system.
Types of Fire Doors We Inspect, Repair & Certify
We work with a wide range of fire door types, including FD30 and FD60 timber fire doors, steel and metal fire doors, glazed fire doors with fire-rated glass, acoustic-rated fire doors, and composite or specialist fire door systems. Each door is assessed according to its construction, intended use, occupancy type, and associated fire risk level to ensure suitability and compliance.
Fire Door Maintenance & Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
Why Fire Door Maintenance Is Essential
Even fire doors that are initially compliant can deteriorate over time due to regular use, accidental damage, environmental conditions, or misuse such as wedging doors open. Without regular maintenance, performance can be compromised.
Scheduled Inspections & Servicing
Planned preventative maintenance programmes ensure fire doors remain compliant and fully operational throughout their service life. Routine servicing helps identify developing issues before they escalate into major defects.
Reducing Long-Term Costs
Early identification and correction of defects reduces the need for costly full replacements and minimises the risk of enforcement action. Proactive maintenance protects both budgets and legal compliance.
Maintenance Records & Logs
All maintenance activities are fully documented and logged. These records provide clear evidence of compliance for audits, insurers, managing agents, and enforcing authorities.
Fire Door Legal Requirements in the UK
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Under this legislation, the Responsible Person has a legal duty to ensure that fire doors are safe, compliant, and properly maintained as part of the building’s fire safety measures.
Fire Safety Act 2021
This Act clarified and expanded fire safety duties, explicitly including fire doors as part of the building’s structure and compartmentation responsibilities.
Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
These regulations introduced stricter requirements for inspection frequency, reporting, and record-keeping for fire doors, particularly in multi-occupied residential buildings.
Who Is the Responsible Person?
The Responsible Person is typically the landlord, building owner, managing agent, employer, or duty holder, depending on the property type and occupancy.
Fire Door Inspection Frequency (UK Guidance)
UK guidance recommends that communal fire doors in residential buildings are inspected every three months, while flat entrance doors should be checked at least annually. Commercial fire doors are generally inspected every six months, and high-risk or heavily used doors may require more frequent checks depending on the fire risk assessment.
Who Needs Fire Door Certification?
Fire door certification is required by landlords, freeholders, HMO operators, managing agents, businesses, employers, housing associations, and local authorities responsible for occupied buildings. Certification demonstrates that fire doors have been inspected, maintained, and remain compliant with legal and safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do fire doors need to be certified after installation?
Yes. After installation, fire doors should be certified or documented to make sure they were put in according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the fire safety standards that apply.
Are fire doors required in blocks of flats?
Yes. Fire doors are needed in common areas and as the entrance doors to flats to keep people from getting out and to keep fire and smoke from spreading.
Are fire doors required in HMOs?
Yes, as part of licensing and fire safety rules, HMOs usually need fire doors in all rooms, including bedrooms, kitchens, and escape routes.
What is the difference between a fire door inspection and a fire door survey?
A fire door inspection looks at each door to see if it meets the standards, while a fire door survey looks at all the fire doors in a building and gives a full overview of their compliance.
Can a damaged fire door still be compliant?
No. Damage like broken seals, big gaps, or broken closers can make a fire door fail an inspection, and it must be fixed or replaced to stay compliant.
Can fire doors be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. If approved methods can bring fire doors back to full certified performance, they can often be fixed. You only need to replace something if it can’t be fixed.
Do fire doors need to be kept closed at all times?
Yes. The purpose of fire doors is to stay closed. If a door needs to stay open, it should have a fire alarm-connected automatic hold-open device that has been approved.
Can fire doors have letterboxes or door viewers?
Yes, but only if the letterbox or viewer is fire-rated and put in according to the door’s certification. Changes that haven’t been approved can make compliance invalid.
How long does a fire door last?
If you take care of it, a fire door can last for a long time. The length of time it lasts depends on how often it is used, the environment, and how well it is taken care of.
Will fire door records be checked by inspectors or insurers?
Yes. During audits or after an incident, fire departments, councils, and insurance companies may ask for inspection reports, certificates, and maintenance records.
