Approved Document B:
30 September 2026.
Approved Document B is the UK government's guidance supporting the fire safety requirements of the Building Regulations. Changes to it take effect on 30 September 2026 — the same month as Fire Door Safety Week — so it's worth getting your compliance position settled before then rather than after.
Don't wait for
the deadline.
Whatever the detail of the amendment turns out to be for your building, the underlying duty doesn't change: as the responsible person, you're required to appoint a competent contractor for fire door work and keep a record that holds up to scrutiny. Booking an inspection now, well ahead of the deadline, means any remedial work can be planned and completed calmly rather than rushed at the last minute.

Book an
inspection.
Speak directly with a qualified specialist. Each fire door is assessed against a comprehensive 30-point inspection by a certified fire door inspector. You'll receive a detailed, image backed report setting out what is compliant and what requires attention, with clear recommendations. Where it is safe and compliant to do so, we prioritise repair over replacement. Compliant doors are issued with certification on the same day.
Inspections are £30 + VAT per door. Fee deducted from invoice when you book remedial or replacement work within 60 days.
