Hi there ,

I am a time served carpenter & joiner of 34 year doing the job I love. Hung, swung , fitted countless doors of all shapes and sizes . Can someone out there please tell me I'm not going mad but I've been told that to hang and fit fire doors I need  to pay £2500 for a licence  before I can do the work .? 

As far as I am ware that's a load of garbage, who is telling you this, you can become a specialist and be able to modify fire doors, which allows the door to keep its certifire or trada Q status, check it out with the appropriate organisations.
