Fire door installation services in the UK are a vital part of any building’s fire safety strategy. Fire doors help prevent the spread of smoke and flames, protect escape routes, and provide essential time for evacuation and emergency response. Whether in commercial offices, schools, healthcare settings, warehouses, or apartment blocks, properly installed fire doors are required by law and play a crucial role in saving lives and protecting property. Businesses that fail to install compliant fire doors risk enforcement action, invalid insurance, and legal liability in the event of an incident.
At FireRite, we deliver fully certified fire door installation services across the UK, using products and techniques that meet all current British Standards. Our installation process begins with a site assessment to determine the correct fire rating needed for each location—typically FD30, FD60 or FD120 depending on your building’s fire strategy. We supply third-party certified timber or steel fire doors, complete with tested and approved frames, hardware, intumescent seals, smoke strips, door closers, signage, and ironmongery. Each installation is carried out by qualified professionals with fire door installation certification, ensuring every door is fitted correctly and within legal tolerances.
The benefits of choosing a certified installation service extend far beyond compliance. Professionally installed fire doors can drastically reduce fire damage by compartmentalising areas and limiting fire spread. This not only enhances the safety of employees and visitors but also protects critical equipment, stock, and infrastructure. From a legal perspective, having certified installations helps you meet obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Building Regulations. It also supports future fire risk assessments, simplifies building control approvals, and demonstrates a commitment to safety best practice. For business owners, facilities managers, and landlords, a reliable fire door installation service is an investment in safety, compliance, and long-term cost savings.
Commercial fire door installation is an essential service for businesses looking to protect people, premises, and assets. In commercial environments—such as office buildings, retail units, industrial sites, hotels, and schools—fire doors must be professionally installed as part of a wider passive fire protection system. Fire doors are not standard doors; they must be correctly rated, fitted to tight specifications, and integrated with fire compartments to perform effectively during an emergency. A poorly installed fire door can fail to close, allow smoke to pass, or reduce evacuation time, putting lives and property at risk.
FireRite offers specialist commercial fire door installation services tailored to the unique requirements of each site. Our work begins with a consultation and site survey to determine where fire doors are legally required and what fire ratings are appropriate. We help you select the right door types—FD30, FD60, FD90 or FD120—based on your building’s fire strategy and layout. We supply and install fully certified doors, including all necessary components such as fire-rated frames, intumescent strips, smoke seals, fire-rated glazing, approved door closers, hinges, and signage. Our installers follow the guidelines in BS 8214 and meet all the requirements set out by the Door and Hardware Federation and third-party certification bodies such as BM TRADA or CERTIFIRE.
The importance of professional installation cannot be overstated. Commercial buildings are subject to regular inspections and audits from local fire authorities, insurers, and building control officers. Non-compliant fire doors are one of the most common causes of enforcement action. By using a qualified installation team, you reduce the risk of failure during an audit and avoid costly remedial work or legal action. Professionally installed fire doors also help manage fire risk, support safe evacuation, improve insurance compliance, and contribute to a positive health and safety culture within your business. FireRite’s commercial installation service ensures you are protected, compliant, and confident in your building’s safety systems.
Fire door fitting and installation must be carried out with precision, skill, and an understanding of fire safety regulations. Unlike standard doors, fire doors are engineered to withstand intense heat and contain fire for a specific period of time—usually 30, 60, or 120 minutes. However, if they are not correctly fitted, their performance can be severely compromised. Gaps around the frame, incorrectly installed seals, or non-approved hardware can allow smoke or flames to bypass the barrier, undermining the safety of the entire building. For this reason, proper fire door installation is a legal requirement in all non-domestic and multi-occupied residential buildings.
At FireRite, we provide expert fire door fitting and installation services that meet the latest fire safety standards in the UK. Our process includes a thorough site inspection to assess door locations, fire compartmentation needs, and fire escape routes. We then supply and install fire doors that are fully certified and suited to your building’s use and occupancy. Every installation includes the correct fire-rated frame, hinges, closers, intumescent strips, cold smoke seals, signage, and accessories. We ensure that all components are compatible, tested, and fitted in line with manufacturers’ instructions and relevant standards such as BS 476 and BS 8214.
The benefits of using a professional fire door fitting service are clear. First, you are ensuring that your building complies with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and any requirements from building control, fire risk assessments, or insurers. Second, you reduce the likelihood of failures during inspections or audits, which can result in costly fines, reputational damage, or even criminal liability. Third, properly fitted fire doors enhance overall fire protection and support the safe evacuation of occupants, particularly in large or complex buildings. They are also a vital part of demonstrating that your business takes fire safety seriously and has implemented measures that go beyond basic legal requirements.
