Helping organisations
take control of fire door
compliance
Fire doors must be correctly specified, installed, inspected, and managed for compliance and fire safety.
We work with NHS Trusts, universities, housing associations, developers, and large estates that need a structured, long-term approach to fire door safety.
Built on accredited expertise, not just inspections
FD Fire Door was founded to address a common problem: many fire door inspections simply check boxes and don’t actually lead to real compliance.
Our founder, a qualified and experienced ironmonger, spent years working with architects and consultants to specify fire doors before shifting into inspections.
This experience made one thing clear: the need for a company that not only identifies issues but also helps clients fix them and stay compliant.
Today, FD Fire Door is an accredited, specialist consultancy and compliance partner. Our team brings together decades of combined experience across specification, installation oversight, inspection, and estate-wide compliance.
All our fire door inspectors are third-party certificated by a UKAS-accredited certification body and trained to the highest industry standards.
We provide end-to-end compliance solutions for organisations managing large estates and high-risk buildings, ensuring that fire door safety is an ongoing process, not a one-time event.
What makes FD Fire Door unique?

We hold third-party accreditation at the highest industry standard, ensuring that our work meets strict regulatory requirements.
Providing actionable solutions, not just ticking boxes
A compliance report is only useful if you can act on it. We provide clear next steps, from specification writing and tendering to digital compliance tracking.
Experienced with large estates and high-risk buildings
We specialise in managing hundreds or thousands of fire doors, ensuring that compliance is an ongoing process, not a one-time check.

Tracking compliance across large estates is difficult. Our system helps clients monitor inspections, remedial work, and certification in real time.

Brian Ferguson
FD Fire Door Founder
FD Fire Door was founded by Brian Ferguson, a qualified and registered architectural ironmonger with decades of experience in fire door safety, specification, and compliance. Before starting FD Fire Door, he worked alongside architects and consultants, ensuring that fire doors were correctly specified before they were installed.
Recognising a major gap in the industry, where inspections often failed to provide real compliance solutions, he built FD Fire Door to bridge that gap.
His expertise laid the foundation for an expert-led organisation that now delivers end-to-end compliance solutions, including consultancy, specification writing, independent project oversight, digital asset management, and more.
With a background deeply rooted in fire safety and compliance regulations, Brian ensures that FD Fire Door is more than just an inspection provider. It’s a trusted partner in long-term fire door safety led by a qualified team committed to best practice.
