Why Choosing the Right Fire Door Installer Matters

How Fireco Delivers Across the South East and Beyond

Fire doors are one of the most critical passive fire protection measures in any building. When correctly specified, installed, and maintained, they can mean the difference between a contained incident and a catastrophic loss of life or property. Yet fire door compliance remains one of the most commonly overlooked areas of building safety - and one of the most frequently failed during inspections.

At Fireco, we've built our reputation on getting this right. Based just outside Brighton in East Sussex, we work with residential developers, housing associations, commercial landlords, healthcare providers, and educational institutions across the South East - and throughout the UK - delivering fire door installations, inspections, and remedial works to the highest certified standards.

What we do: Fire Door Installation, Inspection & Remedial Works

Our core services cover the full lifecycle of fire door compliance. Fire door installation covers the supply and fitting of FD30 and FD60 rated doors, frames, and hardware, fully compliant with Approved Document B and BS 9999. Our fire door inspection service involves thorough fire risk assessments carried out by trained inspectors identifying gaps, damage, incorrect hardware, and installation defects. Where full replacement isn't necessary, our remedial works service delivers targeted repairs and upgrades to bring non-compliant doors back up to standard.

Whether you're a developer fitting out a new residential scheme, a housing association managing an existing portfolio, or a facilities manager overseeing a commercial or public building, we provide a complete, end-to-end fire door service.

Featured Project: Lord's View One, London

One of our most significant recent installations was at Lord's View One, a large high-specification residential development in London. Fireco were contracted to supply and install certified fire doors throughout the entire development - a complex, large-scale project requiring precision, coordination, and an uncompromising approach to compliance.

The project demanded FD30-rated doorsets fitted to exacting tolerances, with the correct intumescent seals, cold smoke seals, and CE-marked ironmongery throughout. Our team worked closely with the principal contractor to ensure the programme was delivered on time and without disruption to the wider build.

The client's feedback says it all:

"Fireco have been absolutely incredible from start to finish. I am genuinely blown away by the level of service that we have received. Don't hesitate to give them a call; I'm very glad we did!" - Sima Elli, The Chair and Residents’ Project Coordinator, Lord’s View One, London

Projects like Lord's View One illustrate why fire door installation demands specialist expertise. Compliance requires professional knowledge, certified products, and experienced installers who understand the full regulatory framework - from Approved Document B to the requirements of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.

Serving the South East and the whole of the UK
Fireco's home base is just outside Brighton, and much of our work takes place across the South East - from Sussex and Surrey to Kent, Hampshire, and London. But our capability doesn't stop at county borders. We regularly undertake fire door contracts across the UK, working with clients who need a single trusted contractor to manage multi-site programmes consistently and compliantly.

Housing Associations & Social Housing

We work with housing associations managing large residential portfolios, where fire door compliance is both a legal obligation and a resident safety priority. Following the strengthened duties introduced under the Building Safety Act 2022, landlords responsible for higher-risk buildings must take a far more rigorous approach to fire door assessment and maintenance.

"I’ve had a really good experience with Fireco, the Inspector turned up on time and was great with the occupants of the different flats that needed their doors checking. I’d definitely recommend Fireco. Everything was easy and I got everything I needed. We’re really grateful for the thorough report." - Laurence Hancock, Project Manager at The Guinness Partnership

Commercial & Healthcare

From office buildings and hotels to NHS facilities and care homes, our commercial fire door work spans a wide range of environments. Each setting brings its own operational challenges — minimising disruption in a busy hospital ward, or ensuring correct specification in a care home where residents' safety is paramount.

“The engineers have been absolutely fabulous. They’ve been really responsive and sensitive to the needs of our service users and have just been superb. I would wholeheartedly recommend Fireco." - Sandra Davies, Registered Manager at Marina Care Home, Brighton and Hove, Sussex

Why Fire Door Compliance can't be an afterthought

The regulatory environment around fire doors has tightened considerably in recent years. The Fire Safety Act 2021, the Building Safety Act 2022, and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 together place greater responsibilities on building owners, responsible persons, and principal contractors to ensure fire doors are not just installed, but correctly specified, certified, regularly inspected, and properly maintained.

Non-compliance carries serious consequences - from enforcement notices and prohibition orders to, in the most serious cases, criminal prosecution. Choosing a specialist fire door installer like Fireco means you're not just getting a door fitted. You're getting documented evidence of compliance, certified products, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a team that lives and breathes fire door safety.
