Fire Door Installation In Taunton For Assisted Living Accommodation | Case Study

inDoors completed a specialist fire door installation in Taunton for a property being converted into individual assisted living accommodation. The project involved 12 new fire door sets, BM TRADA-certified installation & Door Data Systems technology to support future inspections, maintenance & compliance records.

The client needed a solution that reflected the building's change of use while helping protect vulnerable residents & support ongoing fire safety responsibilities.

The Project Brief & Key Priorities

The main priorities were:

Supporting the property's change of purpose
Meeting relevant fire safety responsibilities
Protecting vulnerable service users
Replacing existing doors with suitable fire door sets
Supporting future inspections & maintenance
Completing work sensitively within an occupied environment


Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person has legal responsibilities for fire safety within relevant premises. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 also introduced additional requirements relating to fire doors in certain residential buildings.


The project therefore needed to address installation, documentation & ongoing door management.

From Initial Enquiry To Agreed Specification

Initial Telephone Consultation

The client first contacted inDoors by telephone to discuss the property's change of use, fire door requirements & pricing options.

This gave us an initial understanding of the project before arranging an on-site assessment.

Detailed Site Assessment

We then visited the property to inspect the existing openings, discuss suitable options & confirm the quotation.

Once agreed, 12 new fire door sets were ordered through one of our trusted suppliers, selected to suit:

  • The client's preferred appearance
  • The practical needs of the property
  • Fire safety requirements

Digital Fire Door Records With Door Data Systems

Each fire door set was fitted with a Door Data Systems identification pin, helping create a digital record for the individual door throughout its working life.

Traceable Door Information

The system can link each door to information including:

  • Manufacturing details
  • Door specifications
  • Certification
  • Test evidence
  • Installation records
  • Inspection history
  • Maintenance records

This gives the client a more organised way to manage door-specific information without relying entirely on separate paperwork.

Supporting Ongoing Compliance

The system provides a practical audit trail for future inspections & maintenance.

Installation documentation produced by inDoors can also be added to the digital record, helping the client retain key information for each fire door in one place.

Installing 12 Fire Door Sets Safely

Because residents were living within the property, the installation had to be managed carefully. Existing door sets were removed & replaced individually, allowing us to maintain safe access & limit unnecessary disruption.

Sensitive Installation Around Residents

Our approach focused on:

  • Minimising disruption
  • Maintaining safe access
  • Working through the property in a controlled sequence
  • Keeping work areas organised
  • Respecting residents' comfort & wellbeing

From One Project To Further Somerset Work

Following completion of the original 12-door installation, the client instructed inDoors to proceed with a further 17 fire door sets across two additional homes in Somerset.

This repeat work reflects confidence in the installation, communication & project management delivered during the original project.

For organisations responsible for several properties, using a consistent approach to installation, documentation & maintenance can also make ongoing fire door management more straightforward.
