What's included

Every inspection covers all 10 critical points.

This is the standard the UKFDT scheme demands — and the same standard insurers and regulators expect.

01

Certification & labelling

We confirm the door is fire-rated to the correct standard and the certification is intact and visible.

02

Frame & alignment

We check the frame is undamaged, level, and correctly fixed to the wall.

03

Hinges

Three CE-marked hinges minimum, undamaged, with no missing screws.

04

Gaps & clearances

Top, side and bottom gaps measured to BS 8214 tolerances.

05

Intumescent seals

Continuous, undamaged, and the correct type for the door rating.

06

Smoke seals

Where required, fitted and intact — and not painted over.

07

Door closer

Closes the door fully from any angle, without sticking or slamming.

08

Glazing & vision panels

Fire-rated glass, correct beading, intumescent strips around the panel.

09

Signage

"Fire door — keep shut" or equivalent fitted on both faces.

10

Hardware & ironmongery

Locks, latches and handles all CE-marked, fire-rated, and operating correctly.

Why it matters

Non-compliant fire doors aren't just unsafe — they're a legal risk.

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 inspection
  • Legal compliance

    Demonstrate due diligence under RRO 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021.

  • Insurance protection

    Most policies require documented fire-door inspections; we deliver insurer-ready reports.

  • Audit-ready evidence

    Photo evidence of every door, every defect — ready to hand to fire officers or auditors.

  • Clear next steps

    Each report includes a prioritised remediation list with fixed-price options.

Certificate of Compliance

Formal proof your fire doors are compliant.

Once all fire doors have been remediated or newly installed, CMH Fire Doors 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.

What the certificate confirms

  • Carried out by a certified technician

    The fire door or doorset has been inspected, remediated, or installed by a UKFDT-certified technician.

  • Compliant with British Standards

    All works comply with the relevant British Standards, including gap tolerances, hardware specification, installation method, and sealing requirements.

  • Certified, fire-rated components

    All components fitted (hinges, closers, locks, seals, glazing, signage) are fire-rated and CE-marked, as required.

  • Performs as part of your fire strategy

    The door now performs as intended as part of the building's fire-resisting compartmentation strategy.
