At John Murphy & Company, we understand the critical role fire doors play in protecting lives and property. As a key part of your passive fire protection strategy, correctly installed and maintained fire doors help contain the spread of fire and smoke, allowing occupants to evacuate safely while reducing damage to the building.
With the introduction of BS 8214:2026, there is an even greater emphasis on ensuring fire doors are treated as complete door assemblies, with every component working together exactly as tested and certified. Our FireQual-trained engineers carry out professional installation, inspections, repairs and planned maintenance in line with the latest industry best practice, helping you keep your building safe and compliant.
Certified Fire Door Installation Services
We provide professional fire door installation for commercial buildings, schools, care homes, offices and other high-risk environments. Whether you're installing new fire doors as part of a refurbishment or upgrading existing doors to meet current standards, our FireQual-certified engineers ensure every door assembly is installed correctly and performs as intended.
Working in line with the latest fire safety guidance, including BS 8214:2026, we carefully install and inspect every element of the fire door assembly—from the frame and glazing to hinges, seals, ironmongery and self-closing devices—to ensure the system performs as designed in the event of a fire.
From product specification and installation through to certification, inspection and ongoing maintenance, we provide a complete fire door service that gives you confidence your building is protected and aligned with current best practice.

Thorough Fire Door Inspections
Regular fire door inspections are essential to ensure your building remains safe and compliant. Our engineers carry out detailed inspections of each door, checking for damage, wear, incorrect fittings, missing intumescent strips or faulty door closers. Every inspection is recorded, and we provide clear, actionable reports highlighting any necessary repairs or upgrades.
Our team also supports scheduled inspection plans, so you’re always ahead of compliance deadlines.
Integrated Fire Risk Assessment Support
Your fire doors form part of your broader fire strategy. As part of our service, we work alongside your appointed Responsible Person or Facilities Manager to support your fire risk assessment process. We can inspect doors in line with PAS 79 guidelines and recommend corrective actions to address any weaknesses that may compromise your building’s fire protection.
This ensures your fire doors contribute effectively to overall life safety and legal compliance.
