Fire door installation
Professional fitting of brand‑new, certified fire doors tailored to your building’s needs.
At UK Doors & Shutters we understand how vital properly fitted and maintained fire doors are in protecting lives and minimising fire damage. Our experienced team works with residential, commercial, and industrial clients across Huddersfield, ensuring every fire door meets current safety standards and building regulations. From brand‑new installations to urgent repairs or routine servicing, we provide reliable, precise workmanship using quality materials. Trust us to keep your premises protected with fully certified fire door solutions that blend safety, durability, and professional finish.
Fire doors are specially designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, creating crucial escape time for building occupants. Properly installed and maintained fire doors act as a barrier between hazardous areas and safe routes, dramatically increasing safety during an emergency and helping to protect lives, belongings, and the wider property from devastating damage.
For fire doors to perform effectively, expert installation and timely repairs are essential. Misaligned frames, damaged seals, or warped doors can all compromise fire resistance. Our trained specialists ensure every fire door fits perfectly, complies with regulations, and functions correctly, providing peace of mind that your building is properly protected at all times.
Fire doors must be regularly inspected and serviced to meet UK fire safety standards, such as BS 8214 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Scheduled maintenance checks identify wear, damage, or missing components early, helping property owners stay compliant and avoid fines while ensuring the safety of everyone in the building.
From homes and apartment blocks to schools, offices, and industrial sites, fire doors play a vital role in every type of building. We offer bespoke fire door solutions tailored to your property’s layout and use, blending robust safety features with finishes that complement your existing décor, ensuring protection without compromising on appearance.
How often should fire doors be inspected or serviced?
We recommend fire doors are inspected at least every six months, as outlined in BS 9999. In high‑traffic areas or buildings with vulnerable occupants, quarterly checks are often best. Regular servicing ensures your doors remain compliant and function as intended in the event of a fire.
Do you install all types of fire doors?
Yes — we supply and install a full range of certified fire doors, including FD30, FD60, glazed fire doors, communal entrance doors, and flat entrance doors for residential blocks. We tailor each installation to your property’s requirements and ensure all work meets the latest UK fire safety standards.
Can you repair damaged fire doors, or do they always need replacing?
Not every damaged door needs full replacement. Minor issues like seal replacement, hinge repairs, or adjustments can often restore compliance and extend the life of the door. We always assess on site and provide honest advice on the most cost‑effective, compliant solution.
Do landlords in Huddersfield need fire doors in rental properties?
Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and local building regulations, landlords must install compliant fire doors in certain properties, especially HMOs and flats. We can survey your property, advise on requirements, and install or upgrade fire doors to ensure legal compliance.
Do you provide certification for installed fire doors?
Absolutely. All new fire doors we install are fully certified to relevant British Standards. After installation or servicing, we provide documentation so you can demonstrate compliance during fire risk assessments or inspections — essential for landlords, letting agents, and business owners.
All our work meets the highest safety standards, combining durability, performance, and a professional finish.
