Fire Door Regulations and Certification

We can install fire doors and provide the necessary certification as part of the service.

As a legal requirement, fire doors are mandatory for all non-domestic properties, such as businesses, commercial premises, and public buildings. Fire doors are a requirement in blocks of flats and houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs) as well.

That said, fire doors are not a legal requirement in many homes in the UK, however, there are some exceptions.

Building regulation details where fire doors are neccessary:

  • Any new build or home renovation that has three or more floors must have fire doors fitted to every habitable room that leads from a stairwell. This applies to loft conversions where an extra floor has been added to a two-storey home.
  • Any door leading from your home into an integral garage must be a fire door. In most domestic situations, FD30 (fire doors with a 30 minute fire rating) are sufficient
