Fire Doors

Why Fire Doors Matter

Fire doors are among the most critical components of passive fire protection. When correctly installed and maintained, they form part of a building’s compartmentation strategy, helping to contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and ultimately save lives. Despite this, fire doors remain one of the most overlooked elements in many properties.

As part of legal obligations under fire safety regulations, responsible persons must ensure fire doors are compliant, fit for purpose and regularly maintained. At Prospect Fire, we specialise in professional, accredited fire door services designed to help you meet these requirements across London and Home Counties.

Fire Door Installation

Whether you’re installing doors in a new development or replacing non-compliant sets in an occupied building, professional installation is essential. All fire doors must be installed to manufacturer guidelines and supported by appropriate test evidence to perform effectively in a fire.

Our certified fire door contractors in London and the Home Counties deliver full fire doorset installations, including leaf, frame, seals, ironmongery and signage, in line with the latest regulatory requirements. Whether you’re upgrading existing stock or fitting new units, we ensure every installation is backed by documented inspection and survey evidence, satisfying both building control and fire safety officers.

Fire Door Maintenance

Fire doors experience wear and degradation over time, particularly in high-traffic environments. Regular maintenance is not just best practice — it’s a legal necessity under ongoing fire safety responsibilities.

Prospect Fire offers a comprehensive fire door maintenance service that includes:

Door leaf and frame integrity checks
Intumescent and cold smoke seal inspection
Hardware functionality (hinges, closers, latches, signage)
Threshold seals and gap tolerances
Frame-to-substrate sealing

We tailor maintenance schedules to your usage profile, with more frequent checks for high-traffic areas. All works are carried out by our qualified operatives and logged for audit purposes.

Repairs and Fire Door Upgrades

Where fire doors show signs of damage or non-compliance, repair and upgrade may be possible without full replacement. Our team uses industry-standard methods to assess and remediate fire door issues, extending asset lifespan and ensuring continued protection.

Typical upgrade work includes:

Adjusting ironmongery to correct standards
Replacing seals or glass panels
Adding intumescent materials
Bringing legacy doors up to FD30 or FD60 compliance

We offer targeted remedial solutions for fire doors that fall short of compliance. Our fire door upgrade service is particularly beneficial for councils, social landlords and facilities managers across London, seeking to extend the life of installed doors while achieving compliance through certified remediation.

Many clients opt for survey-led upgrades, where a detailed condition survey identifies required works, ensuring cost-efficient compliance without unnecessary replacement.

Compliance & Accreditation

All fire door work is carried out by Prospect Fire’s third-party certified installers. Our work adheres strictly to UK Building Regulations and BS 8214 standards for fire door assemblies.

We help councils, property managers and commercial operators stay ahead of their legal responsibilities by delivering:

Fully documented compliance surveys
