FDM is your go-to place for Fire Door training, inspections, and maintenance. Our mission is to elevate Fire Door safety standards and support organisations in navigating the changing regulatory landscape.
In February 2024, we opened our doors to our GQA-accredited, state-of-the-art training facility to train Fire Door inspectors, installers, and maintainers to meet and exceed UK Fire Door regulations. FDM’s courses are designed for practical-minded individuals, blending theory with hands-on experience, stepping away from the conventional written formats typically seen in other Fire Door training.
We will continue to collaborate with landlords, residents, manufacturers, and component suppliers to support and raise the standards within the fire door industry

Our Operators
We are partnered with the Claven Group to provide a UK wide field force of operators who are all referenced and vetted.
Due to the sensitive nature of home visits, all operators ae monitored and robust systems and oversight are in place to regularly review all operators.
Each operator has gone through extensive screening and vetting checks including ‘Know Your Candidate’ checks (CV plus usual proof of address and ID provided.) It is then screened by an independent agency to confirm ID, address, check NI number etc. as well as past employment referencing. Additional checked are then made on Social Media, credit checks, DBS checks and sanction screening.
