In Manchester
Fire door projects in and around Manchester.
Stock around Manchester is all over the place. Victorian conversions next door to '70s blocks next door to brand new builds. Each one wants a slightly different approach — frame condition, original architrave, what's behind the plaster — and you only know once you're on site with a tape.
Why Manchester
What's specific about fire door work in Manchester.
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 Manchester.
Student HMOs and PBSA
Manchester'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
Manchester 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
Manchester 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 Manchester 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.

Where we cover around Manchester.
On every door
What we actually check on a Manchester install.
Not a marketing list — this is the stuff that decides whether the door passes its next inspection or not.
- 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

FAQ
Fire door questions from Manchester.
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 Manchester 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 Manchester 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 Manchester 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 Manchester comes with a photographic record and a written compliance note. Hand it straight over.
Do you do surveys on their own?
Yes. Standalone condition surveys on existing fire doors in Manchester, with a written report, photos and remedial recommendations. Useful before tendering bigger works.
Do you cover surrounding areas as well as Manchester?
Yes. We cover the wider area around Manchester — if you're not sure, just ask on the form and we'll confirm.
