Fire Door Services in Poole
Inspection, repair, installation and ongoing compliance support, delivered by one team, so the findings and the fix never come apart.
Fire Door Inspections in Poole
A fire door inspection is only useful if it tells you something you can act on. We assess the complete assembly: leaf, frame, gaps, intumescent and smoke seals, hinges, closers, latches, glazing, beading and signage. Each element is recorded against the standard it is meant to meet.
Poole throws up recurring problems. Salt air off the harbour corrodes ironmongery on exposed blocks at Sandbanks and Lilliput. Older conversions around the Old Town often have doors retro-fitted into frames that were never designed for them. Busy hospitality premises on the Quay see closers disconnected and doors wedged open through service hours.
You get a written report with each defect graded and a clear remedial schedule. That is the evidence a fire risk assessor, insurer or enforcing authority will expect to see.

Fire Door Repairs in Poole
Most failed fire doors do not need replacing. They need the specific defect putting right by someone who understands how the assembly is certified to perform. Replacing perfectly serviceable door sets is expensive, disruptive for occupants, and rarely necessary.
We carry out the full range of remedial work: renewing perished intumescent strips and smoke seals, correcting gaps that have drifted out of tolerance, adjusting or replacing self-closing devices, re-hanging doors on compliant hinges, swapping non-compliant ironmongery, and making good damage to leaves and frames where it can be done without compromising the rating.
Where a door genuinely cannot be brought back to standard, whether from a leaf cut down beyond tolerance, water-damaged timber, or an unsuitable frame, we will tell you that directly rather than carrying out work that will not hold up.

Fire Door Installations in Poole
A certified fire door set only performs as certified if it is installed as certified. Correct frame fixings, the right packing, accurate gap tolerances, compatible ironmongery and properly fitted seals are what turn a tested product into working passive fire protection.
We supply and fit complete door sets specified to the requirement of the opening: FD30 and FD60 as appropriate, with the glazing, vision panels, signage and hardware the building needs. Installation follows the manufacturer's instructions to the letter, because departing from them invalidates the certification.
We install throughout Poole: communal doors and flat entrance doors in blocks across Parkstone and Broadstone, commercial and industrial premises around Hamworthy and Creekmoor, HMOs and rental stock across the town, and hospitality venues near the Quay.

Fire Door Compliance Support in Poole
Compliance is not a single visit. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places an ongoing duty on the responsible person, and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 added specific checking requirements for many residential blocks.
We help managing agents, landlords and facilities teams across Poole put a routine in place: a baseline survey, a remedial programme worked through in a sensible order, and a repeat inspection cycle that keeps the documentation current rather than letting it go stale between assessments.
Enquire about this serviceWhat's included
- Baseline surveys across a whole portfolio
- Prioritised remedial programmes
- Repeat inspection scheduling
- Support closing out fire risk assessment actions
- Consistent documentation across sites

Questions about our Poole fire door services
Yes. We work across flats and managed residential blocks, HMOs and rental property, offices, retail and industrial units, hospitality venues, and buildings in education and care.
The regulatory detail differs between building types, so we scope each job against what actually applies to that premises rather than applying one template everywhere.
Yes, and in most Poole jobs we have to. Communal door work in occupied blocks is planned to keep escape routes usable throughout, and work in shops, bars and restaurants is scheduled around trading where possible.
Tell us the constraints when you enquire and we will build them into the plan rather than discovering them on site.
Yes. Send us the fire door actions from your assessment and we will survey against them, tell you what each item genuinely requires, and work through the remedial programme.
You then get documentation that maps back to the original actions, which makes closing them out considerably simpler.
It depends on current workload and the scale of what you need. A single door assessment is usually far quicker to schedule than a full block survey.
Get in touch with the detail and we will give you a realistic timescale rather than an optimistic one.
