Fire Door Regulations & Compliance
Why Fire Doors Matter
Fire doors are a critical part of passive fire protection. They:
- Create fire-resistant compartments
- Contain fire and smoke
- Protect escape routes
- Give occupants vital time to evacuate
Where They’re Needed
- Houses with 3+ storeys (including lofts) → all doors to stairwells
- Doors between homes & integral garages
- Flat entrance doors opening onto communal areas
- Commercial/public buildings → escape routes, stairwells, high-risk rooms
Legal Responsibilities
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 + Building Regs Approved Document B:
- A “responsible person” must ensure doors are installed & maintained
- From 2022: communal doors in buildings >11m checked quarterly; flat entrance doors checked annually
Inspection & Maintenance
- Doors certified to BS 476-22 or EN 1634-1 (FD30–FD120)
- Check gaps, seals, hinges & self-closing devices
- Existing compliant doors remain acceptable if undamaged
Our experts stay up-to-date with legislation. We can advise on the right FD rating, carry out inspections, and install compliant doorsets. Unsure of your responsibilities? Get in touch — we’re here to help.
