What Housing Associations Face
Fire door compliance is one of the most operationally demanding aspects of managing a large residential portfolio. The scale, the legislation, the resident relationships and the documentation burden all combine to make this a significant compliance challenge.
Scale & Consistency
Inspecting hundreds or thousands of fire doors across multiple sites — often in different boroughs or counties — while maintaining consistent standards, scheduling and documentation is a major logistical challenge.
Legal Complexity
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, the Building Safety Act 2022 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 all impose duties on responsible persons — with quarterly and annual check frequencies that must be met and evidenced across the entire portfolio.
Resident Sensitivity
Gaining access for flat entrance door checks, communicating with residents in sheltered housing, and managing inspections without causing distress in supported housing settings all require careful, experienced handling.
Documentation Burden
Producing, storing and presenting compliance evidence across dozens of sites — to housing teams, boards, regulators and auditors — requires organised, centralised documentation that's ready on demand.
How We Solve It
We act as your single fire door compliance partner — taking on the planning, delivery and documentation of your entire programme, so your team can focus on running the portfolio rather than managing the compliance process.
Programme Planning
We design the inspection programme around your portfolio, legal obligations and internal reporting cycles — quarterly and annual checks scheduled in advance.
Consistent FDIS Standards
Every inspection carried out by FDIS-approved inspectors to the same standard — regardless of site, borough or building type.
Centralised Reporting
Per-property reports consolidated into a portfolio summary — one document giving your compliance team visibility across the entire estate.
Resident Communication
We support access coordination and can assist with resident communication for flat entrance door checks — reducing the administrative burden on your team.
We Work Across All Housing Association Stock
From large high-rise blocks to small sheltered housing schemes — we deliver the same FDIS-approved inspection standard across all residential stock types.
Large Residential Portfolios
Multi-site inspection programmes coordinated across your entire estate with centralised reporting.
Sheltered Housing
Sensitive inspection delivery appropriate to sheltered and supported housing residents and environments.
Mixed Tenure
Fire door programmes across mixed tenure developments — shared ownership, social rent and private sale within the same building.
High-Rise Blocks
High-rise residential blocks above 11 metres — where the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 quarterly and annual check requirements apply in full.
Low-Rise Schemes
Smaller flatted schemes and low-rise blocks — efficient inspection delivery scaled appropriately to the property size and door count.
How We Deliver Your Programme
A structured, well-managed programme with clear milestones — from initial scoping through to ongoing annual delivery. Designed to integrate with your internal compliance processes rather than add to them.
Portfolio Scoping
We review your stock list, building types and current compliance position to design a programme structured around your legal obligations and internal timelines.
Programme Agreement
Inspection schedule agreed site by site — quarterly communal checks and annual flat entrance inspections planned in advance across all properties.
Inspection Delivery
FDIS-approved inspections carried out at each site to the agreed schedule — resident access coordinated, disruption minimised, every door surveyed.
Reporting & Remedials
Per-property reports consolidated into portfolio summary. Remedial works scheduled and completed. Updated reports issued on completion of remediation.
Ongoing Programme
Quarterly and annual checks continue on a rolling programme — automatic scheduling, proactive reminders and year-on-year compliance tracking.
Per-Property Reports + Portfolio Summary
Every site receives its own full inspection report. These are then consolidated into a single portfolio summary — giving your compliance team the detail they need at property level and the overview they need at portfolio level.
Per-Property Inspection Report
Full door-by-door findings, photographic evidence, pass/fail per door, compliance certificate and remedial recommendations — for every site inspected.
Portfolio Summary Report
Consolidated summary covering all sites — overall compliance position, number of doors passed/failed, remedial works outstanding and programme status.
Photographic Evidence
Timestamped photographs at door level across all sites — available per property or consolidated by defect type for remedial planning.
Remedial Works Schedule
Prioritised remedial works schedule across the full portfolio — enabling your team to plan remediation by urgency, site or budget cycle.
