Keeping you on the right side of the law
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates the use of fire-rated doors in any non-domestic building, regardless of its size or function. This legislation applies to a wide variety of premises, including schools, hospitals, retail spaces, gyms, office blocks, industrial facilities, and public libraries, to list just a few.
Additionally, fire doors are legally required in Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs) and apartment blocks. These fire-resistant structures serve as critical barriers to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, thus helping to ensure escape routes remain clear during an emergency. As a property owner, manager, or responsible person, it is your duty to ensure that your building is equipped with properly installed and maintained fire doors.
Compliance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a moral responsibility to safeguard lives and property in the event of a fire. By partnering with J&D Carpentry, you can take precautions to safeguard people, premises and possessions, whilst ensuring your building is standing on the right side of the law.

The importance of fire doors
Fire doors are integral to any fire safety plan. They function by compartmentalising a building, slowing the spread of fire and smoke and giving occupants valuable time to evacuate. However, the effectiveness of fire doors depends entirely on their installation and maintenance.
Here at J&D Carpentry, we specialise in delivering professional fire door installation and maintenance services throughout East Anglia. Our qualified fitters ensure that every fire door installed meets the highest safety standards.
Fire safety regulations explicitly stipulate that fire doors must be installed by a “competent person”, so this is one area of fire safety that you do not want to try to cut corners on. Afterall, the performance of a fire door hinges on its correct installation.
