FAQ | Why do I need to file with Building Control?
Filing a fire door application with Building Control is essential to ensure your fire door installation meets legal safety standards and complies with Building Regulations (Approved Document B).
Frequently Asked Questions
Who does and who doesn't need to file with building control?
You need to file with Building Control if:
-
You are installing new fire doors in a building where fire safety compliance is required under Building Regulations (Approved Document B).
-
You are replacing or upgrading existing fire doors in a way that affects fire compartmentation or structural integrity.
-
The building is a new development, major refurbishment, or change of use where fire safety must be reassessed.
-
The property is a commercial, multi-occupancy residential, or public building, where fire doors form part of the fire strategy.
You may not need to file if:
-
You are carrying out minor fire door repairs that do not affect compliance, such as adjusting gaps or replacing seals.
-
The building is a single private dwelling (not an HMO or commercial property), though compliance is still recommended.
What if I have already had my door changed?
If your fire door has already been replaced, you may still need to ensure it meets Building Control requirements and is fully compliant with fire safety regulations.
-
Check for Compliance – Verify that your door is certified (FD30, FD60, etc.), has the correct intumescent seals, fire-rated hinges, and door closer, and meets gap tolerances (2-4mm).
-
Look for Documentation – Ensure you have a Record of Installation (ROIA) or certification proving that the fire door was installed correctly by a competent, certified contractor.
-
Filing with Building Control – If your new fire door was installed as part of fire safety works in a regulated building (e.g., flats, HMOs, commercial properties), it may still need to be registered with Building Control.
-
What If No Certification Exists? – If the door was installed without the correct paperwork, an inspection may be required to confirm compliance, or it may need remedial works to bring it up to standard.
What are the consequences if I don't file with the local authorities?
If you have not followed the recommended guidelines, here are some of the issues you could be facing:
-
Legal Action & Fines – Failure to comply can lead to prosecution, fines, or even imprisonment for responsible persons.
-
Building Closure & Enforcement Notices – Fire safety breaches may result in prohibition notices, preventing building use until compliance is achieved.
-
Increased Fire Risk & Liability – Non-compliant fire doors fail to contain fire and smoke, putting lives at risk and leading to potential civil lawsuits.
-
Insurance Voided – If fire doors do not meet regulations, insurance claims may be rejected, leaving property owners with huge financial losses.
