Fire Door Installation Coventry
Fire doors are not optional; they are a fundamental component of fire safety in all commercial, public, and many residential premises. At Element Passive Fire Protection, our Fire Door Installation Coventry service offers more than just fitting doors: we deliver peace of mind, compliance, and life-safety protection.
Fire protection and prevention are vital for commercial and public premises across the UK. Broader measures such as alarms, sprinklers and fire extinguishers are obviously key, but the often overlooked ‘fire door’ installation is a key component to help stop the spread of fires across premises.
Element Passive Fire Protection can provide fire door surveys and fire door installations across Coventry, the Midlands and the UK for your premises.
Why Book A Fire Door Installation Coventry?
Installing fire doors at commercial and public premises is critical. With inevitably high traffic and large numbers of people at workplaces and sites like these, the risk of fire grows exponentially. In turn, the function of a fire door is to stop the spread of fire by containing it to a particular room or area. This then leaves sufficient time for people to safely evacuate the building, and the fire service to enter and tackle the fire.
A badly installed fire door may provide only minimal protection—sometimes only 5-10 minutes—before smoke or flames breach areas where they should be contained. This can have serious consequences: greater risk to life, loss of property, far higher cost of damage, and legal repercussions. Using a properly installed fire door can make the difference in enabling a safe escape route, protecting fire compartments, and giving firefighters time to respond.

What Makes Our Fire Door Installation Coventry Different
When you choose Element PFP to install your fire doors for your Coventry-based premises, you're getting more than just a door hung in a frame. You're working alongside a company with over 15 years of experience in passive fire safety and fire door installation. This has helped us provide out customers with:
Certified Doors & Components
We use doorsets that are tested and certified (FD30, FD60, etc.), complete with matching certified frames, intumescent/thermal seals, smoke seals, approved fire-rated hardware (hinges, closers, locks), any fire-rated glazing, and signage. Cutting corners on any component can invalidate the door’s fire rating.
Installation to British Standards
We follow the guidance in BS 8214:2016 – Code of Practice for Fire Door Assemblies, which covers specification, installation and maintenance of timber‐based fire doors. This ensures your fire door installation Coventry is completed to the required standard, including correct gaps, fixings and materials.
Accurate Gap & Fit Tolerances
One of the most common reasons fire doors fail within buildings is poor installation, and this can be made up of lots of different factors, including: large or uneven gaps, misaligned frames, wrong or missing seals.
Qualified Installers
Our fire door installation Coventry team comprises skilled and experienced installers who understand both the technical and practical demands of fire door work. They are trained to not only fit the fire door in line with guidelines but also understand correct hardware matching and produce full documentation of installation.
Full Documentation & Follow-Up
After installation, we supply full certification, product labels/quotations, as well as photographic evidence, and maintenance/inspection schedules to help you maintain ongoing compliance. We also have an option for reminders of future inspections, so the condition of your doors remains compliant over time.
Our Fire Door Installation Coventry Process
When you work alongside a fire door installation company, you want to know exactly what's expected during the job. Here at Element PFP, we do more than just put your door in place. We understand better than anyone how important having the right fire doors is for a business.
Here's a step-by-step of our fire door installation Coventry process and what you can expect when you work alongside a certified fire door specialist:
1. Initial Survey & Risk Assessment
We survey your building layout, existing doors, usage patterns, fire risk, escape routes, and intended occupancy. We determine where fire doors are required, what fire ratings are needed, and what specifications (e.g., glass, closers, hardware) are necessary.
2. Specification & Pricing
Based on that survey, we provide detailed cost and specification information: this includes the door leafs, frames, hardware, seals, installation labour, finishing, certificates etc. Transparent pricing helps you budget without hidden costs.
3. Preparation
Ordering the correct doors and components, confirming delivery to site, ensuring any building-fabric preparation (e.g. making door openings correctly sized, checking floor and wall substrate) is done.
4. Installation
Our Coventry installers carry out the installation following manufacturer instructions and BS 8214 requirements. This includes correct fixings, hardware fitting, glazing if needed, sealing, adjusting closers, ensuring proper gaps, ensuring the door self-closes and latches properly.
5. Final Testing & Handover
After installation, every door is tested (closing, latching, alignment, seals). We provide you with certification, labels/plugs where appropriate, photos and full records. We ensure you understand maintenance requirements and schedule for checks moving forward.

Fire Door Installation FAQs
Legal Responsibilities & Compliance in Coventry
If you own, manage, or are responsible for a building in Coventry (or anywhere in the UK), here are the legal elements to be aware of:
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places responsibility on the “responsible person” to ensure that fire safety, including fire doors, is managed correctly. Fire doors must be maintained, functioning, and inspected.
- Building Regulations (Approved Document B) require that fire-separating elements, including doors, are installed in a way that meets fire resistance and smoke control requirements.
- Standards like BS 8214:2016 provide the code of practice for timber fire door assemblies (installation, maintenance, specification).
- For multi-occupied residential buildings (flats, HMOs), communal entrances, stairwells, and flat entrance doors are heavily regulated; there may be additional legal duties about how often inspections happen, how doors are labelled, etc.
Failing to meet these requirements can lead to enforcement actions, insurance coverage issues, and worse, risk to life.
Fire Door Surveys
Element can carry out a complete fire door survey at your premises, whether that is a review of your existing fire doors, or a completely new survey for new doors that our Coventry fire door installers can fit and implement.
For an existing fire door survey, we will inspect and identify each door and record any defects or concerns on our very own Bolster System. Element will also record the locations of the doors, provide before/after photos of any work conducted, and a reminder of when the next fire door inspection is required.
For a completely new survey, our fire door installers will assess the layout of your premises, evaluating the risks of fire that it poses, and accordingly make recommendations on the number of fire doors required and the optimal locations of where they would be best installed. Your organisation can then decide on when you would like our fire door installers to fit them for you.
