Fire doors are a vital line of defence, helping to contain the spread of fire and protect designated escape routes. At Landlord Certification, we carry out thorough fire door inspections and certification to ensure your property fully complies with UK Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our qualified assessors examine every component of your fire doors including frames, seals, glazing, and hinges before providing a detailed inspection report and a certificate of compliance for your records.
Why Certified Fire Doors Are Essential for Building Safety
Fire doors are critical safety barriers that compartmentalise fire, slow its spread, and protect escape routes, giving occupants vital time to evacuate safely. However, even small defects, such as gaps over 3mm, faulty closers, or damaged intumescent seals, can compromise their effectiveness.
At Landlord Certification, we deliver comprehensive fire door inspection and certification services to ensure every fire door in your property complies with the strict standards set by UK Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our certified assessors carry out detailed evaluations and provide legally recognised documentation, giving you proof of compliance for local authority audits or insurance inspections.
Fire door certificate is a legal requirement in many residential and commercial properties, particularly in HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), apartment blocks, and multi-storey buildings. When correctly installed and properly maintained, fire doors play a crucial role in saving lives during a fire by containing flames and smoke.
Our Fire Door Certificate service involves a thorough, systematic inspection carried out by qualified fire safety professionals. We examine every element of the fire door, including the frame, hinges, seals, handles, glazing, and automatic closers. Each component is vital to ensuring the door performs correctly in the event of a fire. Even minor issues, such as a missing intumescent seal or an excessive gap beneath the door, can leave a fire door ineffective.
The inspection begins with a visual and physical assessment to confirm that the door has been properly installed and shows no signs of warping, damage, or deterioration that could compromise its ability to resist fire. We then check the condition and performance of key parts, confirming that the door self-closes as required, that gaps comply with legal standards, and that approved fire-rated materials have been used throughout. Every detail is carefully recorded.
Once the inspection has been completed, you will receive a clear and concise Fire Door Certificate. This sets out our findings and confirms whether the door meets the latest British Standards for fire door performance. Where remedial work is needed, we provide full recommendations so you know exactly what steps must be taken to bring your property into full compliance.
The need for fire door certificate has never been greater. With recent updates to UK fire safety legislation, landlords and building managers face greater scrutiny to ensure their properties are correctly maintained and fully documented.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, together with the amendments introduced by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022, fire doors in multi-occupancy buildings and high-risk dwellings must be inspected and maintained on a routine basis.
Non-compliance carries serious consequences, including legal prosecution, financial penalties, invalidated insurance cover, and, most critically, risk to human life.
Our certification service ensures you remain fully compliant, protecting both your property and its occupants while fulfilling your legal duty of care.
