Checks, fixes and records in one plan
Our fire door compliance services in London help you meet the fire door rules and prove it. We plan the checks, carry out the fixes and keep the records an inspector will ask for.
Fire door compliance explained
Fire door compliance means your fire doors meet the law, and you can show it. That needs working doors and a clear paper trail.
The rules depend on your building. A block of flats over 11 metres has more duties than a small office.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers almost every building except single homes. Under it, the Responsible Person has to keep fire doors working.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add set checks for blocks of flats. Higher-risk buildings also fall under the Building Safety Act 2022. Our guide to fire door requirements in the UK explains each one.
If there is a fire, or an inspector visits, you will be asked for proof. “We checked the doors” is not enough without dates and evidence.
Our fire door specialist team keeps a dated record of every check, fix and new door, so you can answer that question in minutes.

Answers about the rules, the duties and the records.
Managing the plan usually costs £400–£900 per building, per year, before VAT. Checks are priced per door, from £20–£40 each on larger sites. Any repairs are priced and approved separately. The plan fee covers planning, reminders and keeping your records. Many clients find one plan for all their buildings cheaper than booking each check on its own.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers most buildings. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for blocks of flats. Higher-risk buildings also fall under the Building Safety Act 2022. Building Regulations Approved Document B also sets where fire doors are needed in new work. Most existing buildings are mainly covered by the Fire Safety Order.
The Responsible Person. For blocks of flats, this is normally the freeholder or the managing agent. In a workplace it is usually the employer or owner. The Responsible Person can hand the day-to-day work to a specialist, but the legal duty stays with them. That is why clear records of every check and fix matter so much.
The quarterly and yearly fire door checks apply to blocks of flats over 11 metres high. Other duties, such as giving residents fire door information, apply to more buildings. If you are not sure whether your building counts, tell us its height and how many flats it has. We will set out which duties apply and which do not.
You must make a real effort to check every flat door each year. If a resident refuses access, you record your attempts. Keep a dated note of each letter, call and visit. If a door cannot be checked, those records show you tried, which is what the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 expect.
A door register, dated inspection reports, records of repairs and fire door certificates for new doors. Keep them where you can find them quickly if an inspector asks. Records should show the date, the door, what was found and what was done. Digital copies are fine, as long as you can find and share them quickly.
The fire service can issue notices requiring work, and serious failures can lead to prosecution. Most importantly, non-compliant doors put lives at risk. Fire services can carry out audits at any time. Having dated records of checks and fixes is the best way to show you take the duty seriously, and it often avoids formal action.
Yes. We start with a full fire door inspection, so the records begin from a clear, dated point. Send us any reports and records you already have. We fold them into your new door register, so nothing from your history is lost and your next checks are planned straight away.
