Care home fire doors — FD30S and FD60 to CQC and HTM 05-02 standard.
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.
Regulatory context for care home operators
Care homes are Regulated Activity providers under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 Regulation 12 (safe care and treatment) and Regulation 15 (premises and equipment). Fire strategy follows HTM 05-02 (residential care), typically requiring FD30S bedroom and lounge doors, FD60 boiler room and plant, with certified closers and hold-open devices controlled by the fire panel.
Our approach with care home operators
Overnight and weekend installation windows minimising resident disruption, dementia-considerate access protocols, and HTM-compliant doorset specifications. Every doorset we install carries independent third-party certification (BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire or IFC) covering the exact tested slab, frame, seal, hardware and glazing combination. Installation follows the manufacturer's tested method and hands over with the manufacturer certificate, installation certificate and photo evidence for your compliance file.
