Most "fire door" jobs we get called out to in Leeds have already been touched by a general joiner once. Wrong gaps, missing seals, the closer fitted upside down — you'd be surprised. We strip that back and put it in properly.

In Leeds
What fire door work actually looks like in Leeds.
There's a real mix of property types in Leeds — flats above shops, HMOs, schools, the odd care home — and the fire door rules don't bend just because a building's awkward. We've worked through most of it.
Why Leeds
What's specific about fire door work in Leeds.
Every area has its own quirks — building age, tenure mix, the kind of assessor activity going on locally. Here's what shapes the work in Leeds.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Leeds's big student population means a lot of HMO bedroom-door programmes and purpose-built student accommodation. Vacation windows are tight — we plan installs around lease changeover.
Mixed-use buildings and commercial fit-outs
Leeds has a lot of shops with flats above and offices over retail. Compartmentation between residential and commercial is where assessors push hardest, and where most of our remedial work sits.
Mixed property stock
Leeds has the usual mix of older conversions, post-war blocks and newer infill — each demands a slightly different approach to surveying and install, which is why we never quote without seeing the doors.
Tighter assessor scrutiny
Fire risk assessors covering Leeds are flagging far more door issues than they were a few years ago. Most of our work here starts from a recent FRA action list.
Service area
Where we cover around Leeds.
On every door
What we actually check on a Leeds install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- Signage — fire door keep shut / keep locked, where required
- Closer model, force setting and whether it actually closes from any angle
- Architrave reinstatement without blocking the seal
- Door leaf certification label still present and readable
- Gap tolerance top, sides and threshold (3mm ±1, 8–10mm at the floor)
- Glazing apertures — bead type, pin spacing, intumescent under bead
- Hinge gauge, count and certification — three minimum on a fire door
- Threshold detail and any cold smoke seal at the bottom

FAQ
Fire door questions from Leeds.
Can you work in occupied buildings in Leeds?
All the time. HMOs, flats, care, commercial. Phased works, dust kept down, residents and staff respected.
What ironmongery do you use?
Only certified components compatible with the door's tested spec. CE/UKCA-marked hinges, closers, latches, seals. No bodges.
What happens if a door fails inspection later?
If it's our install in Leeds and it's an installation issue, we come back and sort it. That's part of the workmanship guarantee.
Do I really need new doors, or can my existing ones in Leeds be brought back into compliance?
Honestly — a lot of doors fail because of gaps, seals or wrong ironmongery, not the door itself. We'll tell you straight on the survey whether your Leeds doors are remediable or if they're past it.
What's the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 holds back fire for 30 minutes, FD60 for 60. Which you need depends on the building's compartmentation strategy in your fire risk assessment — not something to guess at.
Will I get paperwork for the fire risk assessor?
Yes. Every door fitted in Leeds comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
