Fire Safety Essex

Fire Protection for Social Housing & Housing Associations in Essex

In housing, fire safety isn’t optional — it’s a regulatory requirement. Prospect Fire delivers certified passive fire protection solutions across Essex, supporting housing associations, ALMOs and local authorities with fire door installation, inspection, and compartmentation surveys.

Our expertise spans low-rise housing, multi-storey estates and mixed-use developments, with services tailored to meet the needs of residents, compliance officers, and facilities teams. Whether you’re planning an upgrade, responding to a fire risk assessment, or implementing a borough-wide programme, we provide the support, certification and traceability to get it done right.

Certified Fire Door Contractors – Housing Association Specialists

We install, survey and maintain fire doors across housing stock in line with LPS 1197 standards — ensuring legal compliance and long-term protection for tenants.

Our services for housing providers include:

Installation of FD30, FD60, and FD120-rated door sets
Fire door inspections with compliance reports
Maintenance and upgrades to failing doors
Replacement hardware sourcing and fitting
Void refurbishment and pre-let fire safety checks

All installations are documented with product certification and photographic records. We work flexibly to accommodate tenant access and minimise disruption, using dedicated resident liaison officers where needed.

If you’re seeking reliable fire door contractors for housing associations, Prospect Fire provides Essex-wide coverage with scalable delivery.

Each survey is carried out by qualified inspectors to LPS 1531 standards and recorded using the Onetrace digital platform — providing a complete, auditable record for asset managers and fire risk assessors.
