Who is the
responsible person?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, strengthened by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, places fire door compliance on the "responsible person" for a building — typically the employer, owner, landlord or managing agent with control of the premises.
Appoint a
competent contractor.
As the responsible person, you are required to appoint a competent contractor for any work on your fire doors — inspection, installation, certification or maintenance. That responsibility doesn't go away by delegating the work; it's why we keep an image-backed, dated record via our IT systems for every job, so your audit trail holds up if it's ever checked.
Ignoring that duty carries real consequences — see the Centenary Plaza prosecution for a recent example of enforcement in practice.
Common
questions.
Whoever has control of the premises in connection with their trade or business — usually the employer, building owner, landlord or managing agent, rather than an individual tenant.
The law requires a competent contractor for fire door work. Our inspectors are UK Fire Door Training certified for exactly this reason.
Get your doors
checked.
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.
