About us
Our Mission
At Dovetail Fire Doors Ltd, we provide a full, end-to-end fire protection service for both the public and private sectors. With decades of industry experience, we have the technical expertise to handle projects of any scale from individual residential upgrades to large-scale
commercial compliance contracts.
We don’t just “fit doors”; we ensure that your building’s passive fire protection is legally robust and life-safety compliant.
The Legal Landscape in 2026
Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations and recent 2026 Building Safety updates, fire door compliance is no longer optional it is a strictly monitored legal requirement. “Responsible Persons” are now tasked with ensuring that fire doors in commercial and multi occupied residential buildings are not only installed correctly but maintained to a high standard.
To provide our clients with total peace of mind, we have achieved the industry’s most respected accreditations:
- UK Fire Door Training Approved Installer
- FireQual Certified Specialists
Every project we complete is backed by a ”Fire Door Safety & Compliance Certificate”. This serves as vital legal evidence under Article 18 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, proving that your fire safety measures were handled by a “Competent Person.”
Survey, Remediation & Installation
Following a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA), it is common to find “Category A” failures in fire doors. Our expertise lies in identifying the most cost-effective path to compliance:
Remediation (Repair): We specialise in upgrading existing doors to meet current standards. By correcting gaps, replacing non-rated hardware, and installing certified seals, we can often save our clients up to 70% compared to the cost of a full replacement.
Certified Installation: Where a door is “Beyond Economic Repair,” we supply and fit fully compliant FD30, FD30(s), FD60, and FD60(s) singular fire doors, door sets and assemblies, ensuring they meet the latest BS EN 1634-1 or BS 476-22 standards.
Bespoke Solutions: We provide custom-designed fire doors for heritage and luxury properties, ensuring aesthetic elegance never compromises safety.
