OCD Fire Management Celebrates Continued Growth, Major Contract Wins and Investment in Innovation Throughout 2026

OCD Fire Management, the Hertfordshire-based passive fire protection specialist, is celebrating another successful year of growth, marked by major contract awards, significant investment in technology, continued team expansion and an ongoing commitment to supporting local communities.

Established in 2011, OCD Fire Management has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality passive fire protection services across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and London. Over the past 15 years, the business has become a trusted partner for block management companies, commercial property owners, developers, managing agents and contractors seeking expert advice, compliant workmanship and exceptional customer service.

A Landmark Year for Growth

One of the company's most significant achievements this year has been securing the prestigious fire door inspection programme for The Portman Estate, one of London's most respected property estates. The programme involves comprehensive fire door inspections across a substantial portfolio of residential and commercial buildings within Marylebone, helping to ensure buildings remain compliant while protecting residents, occupiers and property owners.

The business has also successfully completed extensive fire door surveys and passive fire protection works at the London Marriott Hotel Maida Vale, further strengthening its growing presence within the hospitality sector. Following the successful delivery of these works, OCD Fire Management is now preparing quotations for additional hotel locations, reflecting the confidence national organisations continue to place in the company's expertise.

Alongside these projects, the business has continued working with respected contractors, including GD Construction, delivering fire safety solutions on complex refurbishment and heritage projects across London where compliance and preservation must work hand in hand.

Delivering at Scale

Demand for specialist passive fire protection services continues to grow, and OCD Fire Management has responded by expanding both its workforce and operational capabilities.

Over the past 12 months alone, the company has:

• Surveyed more than 5,000 fire doors.
• Completed over 3,000 fire door remedial repairs.
• Continued supporting more than eight block management companies across London and the Home Counties.
• Expanded its surveying, operations and administration teams to support continued growth.

These achievements reflect the company's commitment to delivering technically compliant fire safety solutions while maintaining exceptional standards of customer service.

Investing in Technology and Innovation

OCD Fire Management continues to invest heavily in the future of the business.

During 2026, the company has introduced new Artificial Intelligence technologies to support administration, reporting, estimating and operational efficiency. These investments are helping streamline internal processes, improve communication, reduce administration time and allow the team to focus on what matters most—delivering outstanding service to clients.

The business also continues to utilise advanced digital inspection and reporting platforms, including OneTrace, providing clients with comprehensive digital fire door and compartmentation reports, photographic evidence and clear remedial recommendations.

Commitment to Quality, Training and Compliance

Maintaining the highest standards of quality, competence and compliance remains central to everything OCD Fire Management does.

The company has successfully renewed its SafeContractor accreditation, reinforcing its commitment to health and safety, professionalism and industry best practice.

Every OCD Fire Management operative is fully trained in fire door installation, fire door remedial repairs and passive fire protection, ensuring all work is completed by competent personnel working to current legislation, British Standards and recognised industry guidance.

The company also continues to invest in ongoing professional development, technical training and competency across every department, ensuring clients receive knowledgeable advice and consistently high-quality workmanship.

To provide complete peace of mind, OCD Fire Management also maintains £5 million Professional Indemnity Insurance, giving clients confidence that they are working with a fully insured and professionally managed contractor.

Managing Director Oliver Cullum said:

"Since establishing the business in 2011, our focus has always been on doing things properly. Fire safety isn't simply about meeting regulations; it's about protecting lives, buildings and businesses.

This year has been particularly exciting. Winning contracts such as the Portman Estate, successfully completing works for the London Marriott, investing in Artificial Intelligence, expanding our team and continuing to invest in training demonstrates the direction the company is heading. We are incredibly proud of what our team has achieved and remain committed to raising standards across the passive fire protection industry."

Giving Back to the Community

While the business continues to grow, supporting local communities remains one of OCD Fire Management's core values.

The company is proud to be the official kit sponsor of Wilstone Under 11's Football Club, whose outstanding season culminated in winning their league title. Supporting grassroots football is one way the business hopes to encourage teamwork, confidence and ambition in young people.

OCD Fire Management is also proud to support FreeSpirit, an inspiring Southampton-based charity that provides disadvantaged and vulnerable young people with unforgettable experiences aboard its specially adapted vessel. By taking children out onto the water, the charity helps build confidence, improve wellbeing and create opportunities that many would never otherwise experience.
