About Us
Fire doors are an important part of a building’s fire safety strategy. However, incorrect installation, damage or poor maintenance can affect their performance. Therefore, regular checks and suitable repairs help keep them in working condition.
FireBlocked365 provides specialist fire door services across Manchester, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and the wider North West. For example, we support landlords, schools, care homes, commercial property owners and facilities managers.
In addition, our BM TRADA Q-Mark certification provides independent assurance for our certified fire door installation and maintenance work. As a result, clients can appoint us with greater confidence in our workmanship and processes.
What BM TRADA Q-Mark Means
BM TRADA Q-Mark is a recognised third-party certification scheme for fire door installation, maintenance and related passive fire protection services.
In simple terms, it means the contractor has been independently assessed against strict standards of competence, workmanship, process and compliance. This helps building owners and duty holders feel more confident that fire door work is being completed by people who understand how fire doors should perform, how they should be fitted, and what can compromise their effectiveness.
For FireBlocked365 clients, BM TRADA Q-Mark certification means your fire door works are not treated as a basic joinery task. They are approached as part of your building’s wider fire safety and compliance responsibilities.

Why Third-Party Certification Matters
A fire door needs correct installation and ongoing maintenance to perform as intended. However, even small defects can affect its effectiveness.
For example, excessive gaps, damaged seals and unsuitable ironmongery can compromise a doorset. In addition, damaged frames or faulty closers may prevent the door from closing properly.
Third-party certification provides independent assessment of a contractor’s competence and working processes. Therefore, it gives clients additional reassurance when selecting a contractor for work covered by the relevant scheme.
As a result, responsible persons, property owners and facilities managers can make better-informed decisions when arranging fire door installation or maintenance.
Using a certified fire door contractor can support:
- Fire risk assessment actions
- Insurance requirements
- Compliance records
- Internal audits
- Landlord and managing agent responsibilities
- School, care home and commercial premises safety obligations
- Evidence for remedial works and ongoing maintenance
Fire Door Installation
Correct fire door installation is critical. However, even a certified fire door may not perform properly if it has been fitted incorrectly.
Therefore, FireBlocked365 considers the complete doorset when carrying out installations across Manchester and the North West. For example, we check the door leaf, frame, seals, hinges, glazing, closers, signage, gaps and ironmongery.
In addition, these components must be compatible and fitted in accordance with the relevant requirements. Together, they help the fire door provide its intended protection against fire and smoke.
We install fire doors for:
- Schools and colleges
- Care homes
- Apartment blocks
- HMOs
- Commercial buildings
- Offices
- Industrial units
- Healthcare settings
- Communal areas
- Escape routes
- High-risk areas
Whether you need new fire doors installed as part of a compliance upgrade, refurbishment, fire risk assessment action plan or planned maintenance programme, our team can help you complete the work properly and provide clear records afterwards.
Fire Door Maintenance and Remedial Works
Fire doors are used every day. As a result, wear, damage and misuse can affect their condition over time.
For example, a door that previously closed correctly may develop faults or suffer damage. Therefore, FireBlocked365 provides fire door maintenance and remedial works to address defects and help keep doors in working condition.
Typical fire door remedial works include:
- Adjusting excessive door gaps
- Replacing damaged or missing seals
- Repairing or replacing damaged door leaves
- Replacing unsuitable hinges or ironmongery
- Installing or adjusting self-closing devices
- Repairing frames and architraves
- Replacing missing fire door signage
- Addressing damaged glazing or vision panels
- Improving smoke seal performance
- Correcting issues identified during inspections or fire risk assessments
Our approach is practical and compliance-led. Where a door can be repaired, we will advise on the remedial works required. Where replacement is the safer or more appropriate option, we will explain why.
The aim is to help you make informed decisions, prioritise risk and maintain clear records of the work completed.
Fire Door Surveys and Reporting
A fire door survey gives you a clear understanding of the condition, compliance status and risk level of the fire doors within your building.
FireBlocked365 provides fire door surveys and inspection reports for landlords, block managers, schools, care homes, commercial premises and facilities teams.
During a fire door survey, we assess key components such as:
- Door leaf condition
- Frame condition
- Door-to-frame gaps
- Threshold gaps
- Intumescent strips
- Smoke seals
- Hinges
- Closers
- Locks and latches
- Glazing
- Signage
- Hold-open devices
- Damage, alterations or misuse
- Overall suitability and performance concerns
Afterwards, you receive a clear report outlining each door’s condition, the defects found and recommended remedial works.
In addition, the report identifies priority actions to help you plan maintenance and instruct contractors. As a result, you have a practical record to support fire risk assessment actions and ongoing fire door management.
