A full 10-point compliance audit on every door, photo-documented and audit-ready. We give you the evidence the regulator wants — and the clarity you need to act on it.
This is the standard the UKFDT scheme demands — and the same standard insurers and regulators expect.
We confirm the door is fire-rated to the correct standard and the certification is intact and visible.
We check the frame is undamaged, level, and correctly fixed to the wall.
Three CE-marked hinges minimum, undamaged, with no missing screws.
Top, side and bottom gaps measured to BS 8214 tolerances.
Continuous, undamaged, and the correct type for the door rating.
Where required, fitted and intact — and not painted over.
Closes the door fully from any angle, without sticking or slamming.
Fire-rated glass, correct beading, intumescent strips around the panel.
"Fire door — keep shut" or equivalent fitted on both faces.
Locks, latches and handles all CE-marked, fire-rated, and operating correctly.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a legal duty on the "Responsible Person" to ensure fire doors are fit for purpose. Post-Grenfell, enforcement has tightened: failures attract prosecution, fines, and uninsured losses.
Routine UKFDT-standard inspections demonstrate due diligence and give you a clear remediation path before the regulator finds the issues for you.
Book your inspectionDemonstrate due diligence under RRO 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021.
Most policies require documented fire-door inspections; we deliver insurer-ready reports.
Photo evidence of every door, every defect — ready to hand to fire officers or auditors.
Each report includes a prioritised remediation list with fixed-price options.
Once all fire doors have been remediated or newly installed, CMH Fire & Compliance issues a Certificate of Compliance confirming that each doorset now meets the requirements of current UK fire safety legislation and recognised industry standards.
This certificate provides formal evidence that the works have been completed correctly, using certified components, and in accordance with the regulations enforced by fire authorities, insurers, and building safety regulators.
The fire door or doorset has been inspected, remediated, or installed by a UKFDT-certified technician.
All works comply with the relevant British Standards, including gap tolerances, hardware specification, installation method, and sealing requirements.
All components fitted (hinges, closers, locks, seals, glazing, signage) are fire-rated and CE-marked, as required.
The door now performs as intended as part of the building's fire-resisting compartmentation strategy.
It depends on the building. In multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 metres, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require the Responsible Person to check communal fire doors at least every three months and flat entrance doors at least every twelve months (see the government guidance). In every other workplace or non-domestic building, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires fire doors to be maintained in efficient working order, and BS 9999 recommends an inspection by a competent person every six months. Our advice: a certified inspection at least once a year, and six-monthly in busy buildings.
Our 10-point check covers the door leaf and frame condition, the gaps around the door (typically 2 to 4 mm at the top and sides, up to 10 mm at the threshold, 3 mm where smoke control is needed), intumescent strips and cold smoke seals, hinges, the self-closing device, latch and lock, glazing, signage, certification labels and any hold-open devices. Every door is photographed.
