Are your fire doors actually compliant… or just assumed to be?
Across housing portfolios, HMOs and multi-occupied residential buildings, fire doors remain one of the most misunderstood — and most overlooked — life safety measures.
With regulatory scrutiny increasing and expectations rising under the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety (England) Regulations, “we think they’re fine” is no longer enough.
Fire doors must:
• Close fully and latch correctly
• Maintain effective gaps and seals
• Be correctly fitted, maintained and documented
• Protect escape routes when it matters most
For housing associations, block managers and maintenance teams, this isn’t just a compliance issue — it’s about protecting residents, staff and your organisation’s reputation.
If your portfolio includes:
– HMOs
– Supported housing schemes
– Multi-occupied residential blocks
– Mixed-use developments
Now is the time to review your fire door inspection regime and documentation.
My new book, Fire Doors – The No-Nonsense Guide, breaks down what building managers actually need to know — without the jargon.
Because compliance shouldn’t be complicated.
But it does need to be correct.
If you’re responsible for housing stock or maintenance programmes and want clarity, feel free to connect or message.

When they played together, they used to talk about meeting at a World Cup — two close friends dreaming of facing each other on the biggest stage.
Since Diogo Jota’s tragic passing, Andy Robertson has carried that pain with him every day.

And on the night Scotland finally qualify for the 2026 World Cup…
look at the shirts.

A moment full of emotion, sadness, and celebration.
Almost like Diogo is watching from somewhere else.

Last month, our team carried out a fire risk assessment for a local charity. We discovered their alarm system wasn’t working properly—something that could have put lives and vital community services at risk.

We quickly helped them upgrade to a new, fully compliant system. Now their staff and visitors are protected, and everyone has peace of mind!

A fire risk assessment is a process of identifying and evaluating the risks of fire in a building or other premises and taking steps to reduce those risks. It is a legal requirement for many businesses and organizations in the UK and is also good practice for any building or premises where people gather.

The fire risk assessment process typically involves the following steps:

Identify the fire hazards. This includes looking at things like:

The presence of flammable materials
The use of open flames or heat sources
Faulty electrical equipment
Poor housekeeping
Blocked fire exits
Identify people at risk. This includes looking at things like:

The number of people in the building.
The age and mobility of the people in the building.
The presence of any vulnerable people, such as children or people with disabilities.
Evaluate the risks. This involves looking at the likelihood of a fire occurring, and the potential impact of a fire if it does occur.

Take steps to reduce the risks. This may involve implementing measures such as:

Installing fire alarms and fire extinguishers.
Removing or storing flammable materials safely.
Training staff in fire safety.
Developing an emergency plan.
Review and update the fire risk assessment regularly. This is important to ensure that the assessment remains up-to-date and that the measures in place are still effective.

Fire risk assessments can be carried out by a qualified fire safety officer, or by a competent person who has the necessary knowledge and experience. If you are unsure whether you need to carry out a fire risk assessment, or if you need help carrying out one, you should contact your local fire and rescue service.

Here are some additional tips for creating a fire risk assessment:

Be thorough. Take the time to thoroughly inspect your premises and identify all potential fire hazards.
Be realistic. Evaluate the risks based on the actual conditions in your building, not on what you think the risks should be.
Be proactive. Take steps to reduce the risks, even if they seem small.
Be flexible. The fire risk assessment process is ongoing, so be prepared to review and update your assessment as needed.
By following these tips, you can help to keep your building safe from fire.
