About Fortress Fire Door Specialists
Clear advice. Clear documentation. One point of contact from start to finish.
Fortress Fire Doors helps organisations across the Midlands and North of England inspect, install, repair and maintain their fire doors without the usual confusion.
Before Fortress specialised in fire doors, Dave Vaughan was already working with commercial clients installing doors.
He kept seeing the same problem. Businesses were receiving complicated fire door reports and being left unsure what the problems meant or what they were supposed to do next.
Fortress Fire Doors was built to change that.
“You shouldn’t need to be a fire door expert to understand what your building needs.”
You deal directly with Dave throughout your project, so you always know who to call and what's happening.
Straightforward advice, easy-to-understand reporting and clearly explained next steps.
Your work stays with Fortress. We don't hand your project over to unknown third parties.
Careful workmanship, attention to detail and fire doors installed and maintained to the required standards.
Fire door work sits inside a clear legal framework. Here is what governs it, and what we work to on every job.
Places the duty for fire safety in non-domestic premises on the responsible person.
Extends those duties across multi-occupied residential buildings, including doors and structure.
Raises the bar on accountability, record keeping and risk management in higher-risk buildings.
Government guidance covering escape routes, compartmentation and fire protection.
The code of practice for timber fire door assemblies — installation, adjustment and upkeep.
Guidance on fire safety design, management and everyday use of a building.
Every install, inspection and repair we carry out is documented against these, so your records stand up when they are asked for.

A word from Dave
“If we install a fire door for you, I want you to be completely confident it has been done properly.
If an installation we’ve completed is found not to meet the required specification, we’ll come back and put it right at no additional cost.
We’ve never had to do that, and we intend to keep it that way.”
