Why is fire door compliance important?

Fire door safety aligns your property with UK fire safety regulations. It helps you to avoid considerable government fines. Above all else, fire door compliance saves lives.

Fire doors exist to:

  • Restrict the spread of fire and/or smoke
  • Prevent injuries and minimise risk to life
  • Provide occupants with a safe and easily accessible escape route

Many fire doors fail to meet these criteria because they are incorrectly specified or installed. Furthermore, a lack of awareness amongst installers and fabric engineers has led to ineffective maintenance. Often, this ends up damaging the fire door's performance even further.

At Fire Doors Complete, we're dedicated to educating others in the nuances of fire door safety regulations. From fire door training, to fire door inspection, to fire safety consultancy, we're here to help building operators and installers gain a comprehensive understanding of how to comply with the relevant regulations and standards.

About Us
Emergency Exit

The training exceeded our expectations, with our field-based team giving it an exceptional 4.87/5 rating. The tutor's in-depth knowledge and engaging presentation style made the course both interesting and accessible. For our hands-on workforce who rarely attend classroom based training, this was a huge success. The instructor clearly knows his subject matter inside out and delivers it in a way that's both practical and engaging. Emma Farley Group Customer Care Change Manager, Barratt Redrow plc

Just to say I actually enjoyed the exam yesterday and to thank you for the way you put me at ease and made it a good experience. It was very interesting and informative too. All recent training has been online multi-choice and I have not had a face to face or Teams meeting exam in years

Just a note, as you know, I have studied a LOT but I have to say, I`m about halfway through the video presentation and for all the study I`ve done, this is by far THE BEST training I have encountered 😊 Kudos to you, I don't know how long it took you to compile this course but WOW 😯 I`ll study, re-study then re-study again then read the book and keep taking the test, if anybody wants/needs training I`ll definitely be sending them your way, wish I purchased your course first, (although then I wouldn't know how good your one is 😆) thanks so much.
