For landlords & property owners

Landlords & property owners.

Landlords

Private landlords across Cornwall carry a statutory duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 to maintain fire-resisting doors in any common escape route. Whether you own a single flat above a shop in Truro or a portfolio of converted terraces in Falmouth, the duty is personal — and it sits on you, not the tenant.

HMO Landlords

HMOs across Cornwall — from student houses in Penryn to seasonal-let terraces in Newquay — carry the tightest fire-door duty in the private rented sector. Under Cornwall Council's HMO Licensing conditions, every bedroom, kitchen and door onto a protected escape route must be a certified fire door, typically FD30S with intumescent smoke seals and a certified closer.

Commercial Landlords

Commercial landlords of mixed-use property — shop with flat above, office over retail, converted chapel — carry a fire-door duty on every door protecting a means of escape. Cornwall's town-centre stock (Truro, St Austell, Bodmin, Camborne) is overwhelmingly mixed-use, and the flat-entrance door and stair-enclosure doors are the first assets Fire Risk Assessors focus on.

Commercial Property Owners

Owners of commercial and mixed-use property across Cornwall — small-scale investors with a handful of high-street units, single-building freeholders, or family-owned commercial portfolios — carry the 'responsible person' duty for fire doors in the common parts of every one of those buildings.

For property, block & facilities management

Property, block & facilities management.

Property Management Companies

Property managers coordinate compliance across multiple freeholders, leaseholders and tenants — often over hundreds of doorsets in dozens of buildings. Cornwall's split geography means a single visit can cover a converted chapel in Fowey in the morning and a purpose-built block in Truro the same afternoon. We work to your programme, your paperwork and your PPM system.

Block Management Companies

Block managers running purpose-built residential blocks in Truro, Falmouth, St Ives, Newquay and along the south-coast retirement belt have the tightest post-Grenfell compliance burden in the sector. Every flat entrance door, cross-corridor door and stair-enclosure door falls within the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 checks regime.

Facilities Management Companies

TFM and hard-services FM contractors managing corporate, retail, hotel and healthcare estates across Cornwall need a specialist fire-door partner they can dispatch on a same-day PPM ticket. We integrate with major CAFM systems, invoice by cost centre or building, and arrive with the compliance evidence your client is contractually entitled to see.

Facilities Managers

In-house facilities managers running single-site or small-portfolio corporate, healthcare, hotel and education estates across Cornwall need a doorset partner who talks the same language — Reg 10, PPM, SLA and total-lifecycle cost. We work directly with in-house teams without the FM contractor middle-layer.

Building Managers

On-site building managers running purpose-built residential blocks and mixed-use developments across Cornwall carry the day-to-day fire-door duty on the front line. When a resident reports a slamming door, a broken closer or a damaged flat-entrance door, remediation lands on your desk with an SLA clock running.

Maintenance Contractors

Maintenance contractors delivering PPM, reactive and small-works to social landlords, block managers and commercial clients across Cornwall need a specialist fire-door partner to sub-contract non-competent work to. We work as your Tier-2 on certified fire doorset installation, keeping your compliance clean.

Operations & Estates Managers

Operations and estates managers running mixed portfolios — corporate HQ, distribution, education and healthcare estates across Cornwall and the South West — carry the responsible-person duty for fire-doorset compliance across every operational site. We support with programme-scale delivery under one commercial line.

For public sector & social housing

Public sector & social housing.

Housing Associations

Housing associations operating stock across Cornwall — from the flagship providers to community-based RPs — carry regulator-level fire door duties on top of the general Fire Safety Order regime. Every general-needs flat, sheltered scheme, extra-care unit and hostel bedroom sits under Reg 10 checks and the Regulator of Social Housing's Safety and Quality Standard.

Local Authorities

Cornwall Council's housing, corporate estates and education portfolios all carry statutory fire-door duties — from council-owned housing stock to Grade II civic buildings and primary schools. Town and parish councils across Cornwall carry the same duties on community centres, village halls and public conveniences.

NHS Trusts

NHS estates teams — Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, and community-services estate — carry the highest-consequence fire-door duty of any operator in Cornwall. Every ward corridor, sub-compartment, plant-room and clinical-suite door falls under HTM 05-02 and Firecode.

Academy Trusts

Multi-academy trusts and maintained schools across Cornwall carry a live fire-door duty on classroom, corridor, hall and back-of-house doors. Post-Grenfell DfE and ESFA scrutiny has raised the bar on evidence and documentation, and Ofsted premises inspections routinely surface non-compliant doorsets.

Procurement Managers

Procurement managers running fire-doorset packages across housing, healthcare, education and corporate estates need a Cornwall supplier who arrives with the accreditations, financial standing and evidence pack that a modern PQQ demands. We tender via frameworks, DPS and open competition.

For care, hospitality & sleeping-risk operators

Care, hospitality & sleeping-risk operators.

Care Home Operators

Care home operators across Cornwall — from small owner-run residential homes on the north coast to larger nursing group homes in mid-Cornwall — carry the highest-scrutiny fire-door duty in the residential sector. CQC inspections routinely audit fire-door compliance and Fire and Rescue Service enforcement is active.

Hotel Owners & Operators

Hotel operators across Cornwall — from independent seaside hotels in St Ives and Falmouth to branded groups in Truro and Newquay — carry a heavy fire-door workload across bedroom, corridor and back-of-house doors. Post-Grenfell insurer scrutiny and brand-standard audits have tightened the specification bar.

For developers, contractors & construction

Developers, contractors & construction.

Property Developers

New-build residential developers and conversion specialists across Cornwall — from single-plot barn conversions on the Roseland to 20-unit town-centre regeneration — need fire doorsets that clear Building Control first time and hand over cleanly under NHBC, LABC or Premier Guarantee. We specify at drawing stage and install to programme.

Main Contractors

Main contractors delivering residential, hospitality and public-sector projects across Cornwall need a fire-door sub-contractor who arrives with the right accreditations, the right doorset, and the right paperwork the first time. We work as a Tier-2 to national and regional main contractors and slot into your programme, RAMS, CDM and site rules.

Construction Companies

Regional construction companies delivering refurbishment, extension and change-of-use projects across Cornwall need a specialist fire-door installer who understands your commercial reality — fixed price, on programme, ready for building control. We work as a resource-flex partner to construction businesses from Camborne to Callington.

For consultants, surveyors & architects

Consultants, surveyors & architects.

Fire Risk Assessors

Independent fire risk assessors and PAS 79 assessors working across Cornwall need an installer they can confidently recommend when their FRA identifies non-compliant fire doorsets. We work as a referral partner to assessors — quoting only what your FRA specifies, installing to the tested method, and closing the finding cleanly.

Fire Safety Consultants

Fire engineers and fire safety consultants across Cornwall and the South West need an installer who can execute complex specifications — non-standard aperture sizes, atypical assemblies, engineered smoke seals, PAS 24 + fire integration. We work as the specialist installer under the consultant's engineering package.

Building Surveyors

Chartered building surveyors advising clients across Cornwall on acquisition, refurbishment and dilapidations regularly identify non-compliant fire doorsets requiring specialist remediation. We work as a referral installer to RICS-regulated practices — quoting strictly to your specification and closing the finding for your client.

Architects

Architects delivering residential, mixed-use and public-sector projects across Cornwall need certified fire doorset options that clear Approved Document B, warranty-provider requirements and (increasingly) the client's aesthetic brief. We support at Stage 3 / 4 with performance-verified specifications.
