Fire Door Inspections & Safety Compliance

Certified inspections. Practical reporting. Compliance you can trust.

Fire doors are a critical line of defence in any building, designed to contain fire, protect escape routes, and save lives. At DARK Construction Solutions, we provide independent, certified fire door inspections under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.

As of January 23rd, 2023, Regulation 10 introduced a legal requirement for all housing providers in England to inspect fire doors in buildings over 11 metres. With DARK, you can be assured of expert, compliant inspections that deliver clear answers, practical guidance, and full peace of mind.
