Commercial fire door work in the UK is governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Building Regulations Approved Document B, and BS 8214:2016 for fire door installation and maintenance. Responsible persons must maintain fire doors so they resist fire and smoke for their designated period.
CRB Door Systems supplies third-party certified doors, installs to manufacturer instructions, and provides inspection reports that satisfy insurance, FM and building control requirements. We work with housing associations, schools, healthcare estates, logistics operators and retail portfolios nationwide.
FD30 / FD30S
30-minute fire resistance. FD30S includes smoke seals. Typical for offices, corridors and low-risk commercial compartments.
FD60 / FD60S
60-minute rating for higher-risk areas, stairwells, plant rooms and many industrial applications.
FD90
90-minute doors for specific compartmentation strategies — often specified in logistics and manufacturing sites.
FD120
120-minute (2-hour) doors for critical fire separation, secure plant areas and high-hazard environments.
BS 8214:2016 sets out how fire doors and shutters should be installed and maintained. A compliant inspection checks gaps around the door leaf, intumescent and smoke seals, hinges, closers, glazing, signage and the door frame condition. Defects are graded so responsible persons can prioritise remedials before the next audit or insurance review.
CRB inspectors photograph each opening, record measurements and issue digital reports within 48 hours. Multi-site portfolios receive consolidated dashboards for FM teams — ideal for schools, healthcare estates, logistics hubs and retail portfolios.
Houses in Multiple Occupation require fire doors on kitchens, escape routes and high-risk compartments. Local authorities and fire services expect FD30S doors on corridors with cold-smoke seals, self-closing devices and clear signage. Landlords and managing agents must maintain doors under the Fire Safety Order — not just at change of tenancy.
We survey HMO portfolios, replace non-compliant doors with third-party certified products, and set up 6-monthly inspection programmes so you stay ahead of enforcement visits.
