Fire Doors in Devon: Why You Can’t Compromise on Safety, Compliance & Peace of Mind
At MBP Fire Protection Ltd, we know that fire safety in Devon begins with robust, certified fire doors that protect people, property and peace of mind. Whether you’re responsible for a commercial premises in Torbay, managing residential blocks in Exeter, or protecting a business in Teignbridge, your choice of fire doors could literally save lives.
What Makes Fire Doors So Critical in Devon Buildings?
Fire doors are a core component of passive fire protection systems — designed to:

- Contain fire and smoke spread, buying vital time in emergencies
- Protect escape routes such as stairways, corridors and common areas
- Comply with UK fire safety regulations, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and Building Regulations Approved Document B
- Safeguard staff, tenants and visitors from harm
Without proper fire doors installed by certified professionals, buildings remain at risk, both legally and in terms of safety. Poorly installed or non-compliant fire doors can fail to contain fire and smoke, putting occupants, escape routes and property at risk, while also breaching UK fire safety regulations and compliance requirements.
Certified Fire Doors in Devon: What You Need to Know
Not all doors labelled “fire doors” live up to the standard. Only certified fire doors that have passed rigorous testing (including BS 476 and EN 1634 standards) offer reliable fire resistance. These doors are engineered with fire-rated cores, intumescent seals and compliant ironmongery that work together effectively — and at MBP, we only supply fully accredited fire door sets.
Key benefits of certified fire doors include:
- Verified fire resistance of 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes
- Better smoke containment
- Reduced property damage in fire events
- Clear demonstration of compliance with fire safety regulations
- Protection that helps rescuers and evacuees alike

Customer Reviews
"I needed to upgrade my integral garage fire door but found it difficult to get anyone who would undertake this work.
Upon emailing a fire prevention company my details were passed on to MBP Fire Protection Ltd. Matthew contacted me and we discussed my requirements. He provided a variety of options to choose from & once I had decided exactly what I wanted he ordered the new door & fittings.
We agreed an installation date & he kindly arrived as planned and removed the old door & installed the new fire door that day, taking away the old one. Since then my utility room is much warmer as the new door is not only fire preventative but because of the fire seals has almost eliminated the cold draughts from my garage.
A true professional to deal with. Thank you Matt."
