Funding & Compliance Support

Unlock funding for fire-safety compliance.

Limited budgets, ageing buildings and rising regulatory pressure make fire-door and compartmentation upgrades hard to fund. Our free Funding Packs give you the funding routes, evidence structure, scoring and justification that funding panels, Responsible Bodies and trustees expect to see.

Why organisations download it

Free guidance exists. A funding-ready case is rarer.

Generic guidance online doesn't know your building, your sector or your defects. Funding bodies and boards prefer structured, evidence-based submissions, and most managers don't have the time or technical writing to produce one.

  • Built by inspectors, not marketers

    Written by the people who audit fire doors every day and know what assessors actually query.

  • Weeks of work removed

    No research, no guesswork, no staring at a blank justification box.

  • Internal sign-off made easier

    Gives senior leaders, trustees and governors a clear, defensible reason to approve urgent works.

  • Stronger, complete applications

    Aligned with funder criteria, so your application is complete, accurate and easier to score well.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is the pack really free?

Yes. Tell us your sector and email address and we send you the PDF. There's no payment, no trial and no obligation. We'll follow up once to ask whether you'd like help with the evidence sections, and you can say no.

Does the pack guarantee we'll get funding?

No. Nobody can guarantee a funding decision, and you should be wary of anyone who does. The pack increases your chances by helping you submit a complete, evidence-based, compliant application. Decisions remain with the funding body.

Do you submit the application for us?

No. You remain the applicant and the Responsible Person. The pack gives you the routes, templates and justification so your submission is as strong as possible. We're happy to talk it through before you send it.

What does CMH actually do, then?

The evidence. A UKFDT-certified inspection gives you door-by-door photographs, a defect register, compliance findings and a costed, phased proposal, which is what funders and boards weigh most. We complete those sections of the pack for you as part of an inspection. Inspections start from £20 per door.

Which funding schemes does the pack cover?

Each sector pack explains the routes most relevant to that type of organisation, what they prioritise and when to apply, for example condition funding for schools, estates capital and commissioner routes for care, HRA and business-plan programmes for housing, and community and heritage grants for charities. Scheme details change between rounds, so the pack tells you what to check and where.

What if funding isn't available in my sector?

The pack tells you honestly. Sometimes the answer is that works must be funded internally, in which case the justification statement, scoring and cost templates still give your board, trustees or finance team the business case they need to approve them.

Secure funding. Strengthen compliance. Protect the people who rely on your buildings.

Transparency note. CMH Fire Doors Funding Packs are a free compliance support resource. They help you prepare a stronger, evidence-based application. We do not apply for funding on your behalf, and no funding or approval is guaranteed. Eligibility, criteria and award sizes are set by each funding body and change between rounds; always confirm current guidance with the funder before submitting.
