Why clients choose FDA
FDA is built to be useful in the real world — especially where a client wants more visibility, more clarity and less assumption at the end of a project.
Less assumption
FDA reduces reliance on generic certificates, installer statements or incomplete close-out information.
Stronger evidence trail
Photographs and recorded findings help create a more transparent handover file for dutyholders and project teams.
Practical close-out
Defects and actions are easier to understand, easier to rectify and easier to re-inspect before handover.
What you actually get with FDA
FDA is more than a statement. It is a structured inspection and evidence review process designed to support handover and assurance.
Door leaf and frame review
Visible condition, alignment, frame detail and general installation quality are reviewed.
Gaps and thresholds
Head, jamb and threshold gaps can be identified as part of the overall inspection findings.
Ironmongery and components
Hinges, closers, seals, glazing, signage and other visible components are checked item by item.
Clear remedial recommendations
Where issues are identified, Moore Fire sets out practical next steps to support rectification and re-inspection.
What FDA adds beyond scheme-led certification
This page should sell the benefit clearly: FDA is valuable because it gives a more detailed, independent and door-specific completion record.
What clients often rely on
Scheme / installer-led assurance
- Confidence in installer competency and scheme arrangements.
- Useful where certified installation is a requirement.
- May still leave the client without a full independent record for every individual door inspected.
- May not always provide the strongest close-out trail for each doorset in the project.

Important note
Keep the language accurate while still selling the service properly.
FDA is a valuable assurance service because it is honest about what it does
FDA is not presented as FIRAS, UKAS accreditation or a manufacturer warranty. Its strength is different: it gives an independent, evidence-led and door-specific completion inspection record for the doorsets actually inspected in the agreed scope.
FAQs
Quick answers for clients considering the service.
Why would a client choose FDA?
Because FDA provides a clearer independent record of what has been inspected, photographed and reviewed on the actual doorsets in scope.
Is FDA useful if a certified installer carried out the works?
Yes. FDA can sit alongside installer certification arrangements and provide an additional independent completion inspection record.
Do you inspect every door?
Yes. Every doorset in the agreed FDA scope is checked and recorded individually.
What if defects are found?
Moore Fire records the findings clearly and sets out practical remedial recommendations. Re-inspection can then be arranged following corrective works.
Do you install or repair fire doors?
No. Moore Fire remains independent and does not install, repair or maintain the doors it inspects.
