Why Fire Door Compliance Is
Critical in Kensington

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, in force since 23 January 2023, extended duties on Responsible Persons in multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 metres. Non-compliance is a criminal offence that can put residents at risk and expose landlords to severe penalties.

Kensington's Victorian mansion blocks and period conversions add an extra compliance layer — standard off-the-shelf doors rarely suffice. You need certified engineers who understand heritage constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Kensington landlords and property managers typically ask about fire door installation.

Do I need a certified installer for fire doors in Kensington?
Yes. UK law requires competent persons under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Building control and enforcement authorities in Kensington expect installation to follow BS 8214:2026. Our fitters hold FIRAS, FDIS, and BM Trada accreditation and carry proof of certification on every job.
How long does fire door installation take in a Kensington flat?
A standard single-leaf FD30 door takes 3 to 4 hours on site, assuming the frame is sound. More complex jobs — including frame replacement or fire exit door installation in HMOs — may take a full day. We schedule work to minimise disruption to residents.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD60 fire doors?
FD30 provides 30 minutes of fire resistance — the standard for most Kensington flats and HMOs. FD60 provides 60 minutes, required for commercial premises or where Building Control specifies enhanced compartmentation. Both are tested to BS EN 1634-1 or BS 476-22.
Can I replace an existing door with a fire door in my property?
Yes, if the frame and opening are suitable. Our surveyors assess frame condition, gap tolerances, and fixing integrity. If the frame is sound, we install a new fire-rated doorset. If decayed, we recommend replacement. We never suggest unnecessary work.
Do you provide certification after installation?
Yes. Every installation includes a full compliance pack: installation certificate referencing BS 8214:2026, manufacturer test evidence, third-party certification traceability, and digital records stored for 10 years. This satisfies RBKC council inspections, insurance, and HMO licensing.
What are the current UK fire door regulations for rented properties?
The key regulations are: Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 — quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance checks for buildings over 11m; Building Regulations Approved Document B — specifies where fire doors are required; Fire Safety Order 2005 — requires competent installation; and BS 8214:2026 — the code of practice for fire door assemblies.
