Fire door safety from survey to certification
Fire door responsibility rests with the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, covering non-domestic premises and communal residential areas, with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adding scheduled checks in buildings over 11 metres. Coventry's mix — post-war city-centre stock, tall university residences, and modern manufacturing facilities — spans a wide range of building types.
A rating belongs to the whole doorset, not the leaf. We survey and fit intumescent strips and smoke seals, certified hinges and closers, correct perimeter gaps and compatible glazing, because an FD30 or FD60 door only performs when every component is certified and correctly installed. Our surveys record exactly what each door needs — remedial work or replacement — so nothing is guessed, and the certification stands up to inspection.
Fire doors for Coventry's universities
Education leads our fire door work in Coventry, home to two universities with large teaching and residential estates. These are demanding buildings: lecture theatres and halls of residence see relentless use, doors are propped open for circulation, and works must fit around teaching, exams and student occupancy.
We schedule surveys and installations into vacations and out-of-hours windows, and can time work around student move-in and move-out so residences are compliant for each intake. Every installer holds a CSCS card with City & Guilds or NVQ training, and our CHAS and Constructionline accreditations are already in place for estates pre-qualification
Workplaces, homes and healthcare
Commercial and industrial
The Friargate office quarter at the station and the advanced manufacturing parks at Ansty and Westwood bring commercial and industrial premises needing fire door programmes that keep operations running — we work around shifts and operating hours.
Housing and residential
For residential blocks, we support owners and managing agents with survey, remedial and replacement programmes meeting the 2022 Regulations.
Healthcare
In healthcare settings, we maintain compartmentation in live clinical areas, with infection control observed.
Certified people, dependable delivery
Every instruction opens with an inspection and an itemised quote, separating doors that need replacing from those that a repair will restore. Our tradespeople hold CSCS cards and are trained to City & Guilds or NVQ level, and the business is CHAS and Constructionline accredited with ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certification.
Fire door work often forms part of a wider refurbishment, and where a Coventry project also needs redecoration, we can run it alongside our painting and decorating in Coventry team on one programme and a single point of contact.
