A fire door is only as good as the way it's fitted.
A certified doorset can fail if the gaps are wrong, the seals are missing or the closer doesn't latch. Third-party certification closes that gap between a tested product and a safe installation.
Independently audited
Our work is assessed by BM TRADA, a UKAS-accredited certification body — not self-certified.
Labelled and traceable
Certified installations are labelled on the door, so anyone can check who installed it and under which scheme.
Evidence on file
Certificates and door-by-door records give your fire risk assessor, insurer or auditor exactly what they ask for.
Less liability for you
Certified installation and maintenance protects residents and staff, and reduces your exposure if something goes wrong.
§03Your duties
How often should your fire doors be checked?
Since January 2023, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations have set firm inspection duties for many residential buildings. Here's the short version.
Every 3 months
Communal fire doors
Residential buildings over 11 m: check all fire doors in common parts, including self-closers.
FS(E)R 2022, reg. 10Every 12 months
Flat entrance doors
Residential buildings over 11 m: use best endeavours to check every flat entrance door, and record it.
FS(E)R 2022, reg. 10At least every 6 months
Other premises
Offices, venues, care settings and more: fire doors must be maintained, with six-monthly checks widely recommended.
RRO 2005 art. 17 · BS 9999
§04Refurbishment & fit-out
From fire doors to full fit-outs.
We bring a range of trades and experienced project managers to projects of every size — from domestic renovations to hospitality and commercial fit-outs.
§05What our clients say
Professional, on schedule — and it shows.
We recently worked with Smiths Contractors to install brand-new toilets in our bar where none previously existed, and the results have been outstanding. From the very start, their team was professional, efficient, and transparent about the process. They handled everything—from planning and groundwork to installation—with minimal disruption to our business.
Smiths Contractors did a fantastic job refurbishing our entrance doorsets to our 3 tower, 600 apartment residential complex. The work was carried out professionally, on schedule, and the estate looks so much better for it. Highly recommended.
