Fire Door Compliance for Property Managers
As a property manager, fire door compliance sits squarely within your remit — and the building owners, freeholders and insurers you answer to expect documented, professional evidence that it is being done properly. We provide FDIS-approved inspections, PPM contracts and rapid remedial works with audit-ready documentation on every visit.

- FDIS-approved inspections to present to building owners
- Digital reports with photographic evidence per door
- Documentation formatted for insurers & freeholders
- PPM contracts across your managed portfolio
- Remedial works scheduled within 48 hours
- Compliance records ready for block management audits
- Pre-handover inspections for new build take-ons
- Single point of contact across all managed buildings
What Property Managers Face
Fire door compliance is one of the most operationally demanding elements of block management — requiring coordination across multiple buildings, multiple stakeholders and multiple regulatory obligations, all while keeping building owners, freeholders and insurers satisfied with the evidence of what is being done.
Accountability Without Authority
Property managers carry the operational responsibility for fire safety compliance but often need to obtain approval from building owners before instructing works. We provide the clear, costed scopes of work that get sign-off quickly.
Documentation Demands from All Sides
Building owners, freeholders, insurers and block management software systems all require documentation. We provide comprehensive digital reports after every visit — structured to satisfy all of them.
Reactive Works That Reflect on You
When a fire door fails an inspection or a closer breaks, the property manager is expected to resolve it promptly. Slow contractors make property managers look bad. We schedule all remedial works within 48 hours of instruction.
Portfolio Inconsistency
Managing compliance across a portfolio using different contractors creates inconsistency in standards, reporting and documentation. A single specialist contractor across all managed buildings solves this entirely.
Built Around How Property Managers Work
We work the way block management works — flexibly, responsively and with the right documentation at every stage. Whether you instruct us directly or recommend us to building owners, we adapt to your process.
Clear Scopes for Owner Sign-Off
Every remedial works recommendation comes with a clear written scope and cost — giving you everything needed to get building owner approval without delays.
Report Ready for Every Stakeholder
Digital inspection reports with photographic evidence per door — formatted to satisfy building owners, insurers, freeholders and block management audit requirements simultaneously.
48-Hour Remedial Response
All remedial works scoped and scheduled within 48 hours of instruction — so you can close actions with building owners promptly and keep your service record clean.
One Contractor, All Your Buildings
A single point of contact covering every managed building in your portfolio — consistent standards, consistent reporting, no juggling multiple contractors.

Everything a Property Manager Needs
Six specific deliverables — each designed around the way block management actually works and what the people you report to actually require.
Inspections to Present to Owners
FDIS-approved fire door surveys that carry genuine professional credibility. Building owners, freeholders and managing agents recognise FDIS approval as the industry standard.
- FDIS-approved inspectors on every visit
- Component-by-component assessment
- Pass/fail per door, photographically evidenced
- Compliance certificate for the building
Documentation for Insurers & Freeholders
Every inspection produces a documentation package structured to satisfy all the parties a property manager must report to — building owners, insurers, freeholders and block management audit processes.
- Digital report with photos per door
- Suitable for insurer submissions
- Freeholder-ready compliance certificates
- Audit trail for block management records
PPM Contracts Across Your Portfolio
Planned preventative maintenance contracts across all managed buildings — so fire door compliance is scheduled and documented year-round, not just when something fails.
- Annual & quarterly PPM programmes
- All buildings under one contract
- Maintenance certificates after every visit
- Consistent standards across all sites
Rapid Remedials to Keep Owners Happy
When a fire door fails or a defect is reported, you need it fixed fast. We scope and schedule all remedial works within 48 hours of instruction and provide a completion report you can send straight to the owner.
- All remedial work types covered
- Scoped & scheduled within 48 hours
- Minor works often same-day
- Completion report issued promptly
Compliance Records for Audits & Software
Digital records structured for block management systems — inspection reports, maintenance certificates and completion reports all provided ready to upload to your management software or present at audit.
- Digital-first documentation
- Timestamped photographic evidence
- Organised by building and door reference
- Ready for block management audits
Pre-Handover New Build Inspections
Taking on a new build? We carry out pre-handover fire door inspections to verify that all fire doors have been correctly installed before the building enters your management — protecting you from inheriting a compliance problem.
- Full building survey pre-handover
- Installation verified to BS 8214
- Defects identified before you take on liability
- Handover report provided
Documentation That Works for Everyone You Answer To
Property managers are accountable to more parties than almost anyone else in the compliance chain. Our documentation is structured to satisfy all of them — from the building owner expecting a clear report to the insurer requiring photographic evidence and the freeholder expecting a compliance certificate.
Present to building owners as evidence that compliance is being properly managed on their behalf
Submit to insurers as proof that fire doors have been inspected and maintained to the required standard
Provide to freeholders in response to service charge audit requests or lease compliance queries
Upload to block management software as a permanent compliance record for each managed building
Present to the fire authority in the event of an enforcement visit or compliance inspection
Digital Inspection Report
Full door-by-door findings for every door in the building — component, condition and pass/fail status.
Photographic Evidence
Timestamped photographs of each door and every defect — unambiguous visual evidence for all parties.
Compliance Certificate
Building-level compliance certificate issued after every survey — ready to present immediately.
Remedial Works Schedule
Prioritised works schedule with clear scope and cost — giving you everything needed for owner sign-off.
We Fit Around Your Process
Property managers engage us in different ways depending on the building, the owner and the management structure. We adapt to both.
Direct Instruction
Where you hold the mandate to instruct compliance works directly on behalf of the building owner, we work as your specialist fire door contractor — taking instruction from you, reporting to you and supporting your compliance obligations across your entire managed portfolio. You receive all documentation and handle the relationship with the building owner as you see fit.
Preferred Supplier Recommendation
Where building owners prefer to instruct specialists directly, we are happy to be recommended as a preferred supplier. We will engage with the building owner professionally and keep you appropriately informed throughout — supporting your position as the property manager responsible for the building's compliance programme without cutting across your relationship with the owner.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
Can you work directly with property managers rather than building owners?
Yes. We work with property managers directly — instructed by them on behalf of building owners, or recommended by them for the owner to engage. We adapt to the management structure and provide documentation in whatever format the property manager requires.
What documentation do you provide after an inspection?
After every inspection we provide a full documentation package — a digital inspection report with photographic evidence per door, pass/fail ratings, a compliance certificate and a prioritised remedial works schedule with clear scopes and costs. All documents are structured for building owners, insurers, freeholders and block management audit purposes.
Can you manage compliance across a portfolio of managed buildings?
Yes. We work with property managers across portfolios of multiple managed buildings — coordinating inspection schedules, delivering consistent FDIS-approved standards and providing documentation across all properties under a single point of contact. You deal with one contractor regardless of how many buildings are in scope.
How quickly can you carry out remedial works after a failed inspection?
All remedial works are scoped and scheduled within 48 hours of instruction. Minor works can often be carried out on the same day as the inspection. We provide a written scope and cost for owner approval before commencing, and a completion report on completion — giving you the documentation to close the action promptly.
Do you carry out pre-handover inspections for new build take-ons?
Yes. We carry out pre-handover fire door inspections for property managers taking on new build residential and commercial buildings — verifying that all fire doors have been correctly installed to BS 8214 before the building enters management. A full handover report is provided.
Can your reports be uploaded to block management software?
Yes. All our documentation is provided digitally — PDF inspection reports, photographic evidence files, compliance certificates and remedial completion reports. These are structured for straightforward upload to block management software systems and suitable for inclusion in compliance audit records.
