About Shire Fire Doors
We install, replace, repair, inspect and certify fire doors, frames, seals and fire-rated glass block installations across Sydney — for fire protection companies, and for the people who own and manage buildings. This page is the paperwork behind that: what we’re licensed and accredited to do, and how to check every bit of it for yourself.
25 years in the trade · Licensed builder 462155C · FPAS Fire Safety Assessment F049133A · FPAS Inspect & Test IT49133 · $20m public liability · 237 certificates issued since 2024
The company
- Shire Fire Doors Pty Ltd, ABN 25 642 655 525. Trading as Shire Fire Doors since July 2022.
- Licensed builder — 462155C, class Builder. The licence is held by the company.
- Director: Jonathan Hyde, with 25 years in the trade. The company is younger than that, and the two FPAS accreditations below are held by him personally rather than by the business — that is how the scheme works.
- Workshop — Rear Factory, 136 Taren Point Road, Taren Point NSW 2229.
- Where we work — metropolitan Sydney, with most of the work in the inner city, the lower North Shore, the eastern suburbs and the south.
- What that has added up to — 237 passive fire certificates across 190 buildings since late 2024.
How the work is done
STEP 1
The opening is measured, not estimated
Every opening is measured with a Prodim Proliner, which produces an exact digital drawing of the hole as it really is. Not four tape measurements and a guess.
STEP 2
The doorset is made to that drawing
The template goes straight to manufacture, so the doorset arrives the size of your opening rather than being cut down to fit it on site.
STEP 3
You get the paperwork
A service report with photos, an electronic door register, and a certificate of installation as a PDF. On new construction you also get a paper copy, because AS 1905.1 requires one.
Why measure digitally at all? Because older buildings rarely have square openings, and a fire door can only be trimmed about 3 mm before it no longer matches the system it was tested under. Made to the opening, nothing has to be modified on site in a way that would trouble a certifier.
Licences, accreditation and insurance
The tested system
A fire door isn’t rated on its own. It’s rated as a system — leaf, frame, hardware, seals and the way it’s installed — tested together. Change one part of it and you can’t rely on the test result any more. Everything below exists because somebody has to be answerable for that, in writing, to a certifier.
The builder’s licence
Shire Fire Doors Pty Ltd holds NSW contractor licence 462155C, class Builder. It is the company’s licence rather than an individual’s, which is the one that matters when you are engaging the business.
FPAS Fire Safety Assessment — F049133A
Held by Jonathan Hyde. This is the NSW accreditation for assessing fire safety measures and signing the Annual Fire Safety Statement. If you need somebody accredited to assess what you’ve got and put their name to it, this is the one you’re looking for.
FPAS Inspect & Test — IT49133
Also held by Jonathan Hyde, and a national accreditation on a separate register. This is the one that covers doing the inspecting and testing under AS 1851. Two different schemes, two different numbers — and the register, not this page, is the authority on what each one covers.
Don’t take our word for any of it
FPA Australia keeps public registers and updates them as accreditations change. Search F049133A on the Fire Safety Assessment register, and IT49133 on the Inspect & Test national register.
You’ll notice there are no expiry dates on this page. That’s deliberate. A date printed here is right on the day it’s typed and can be wrong a month later; the register is right today, without anybody having to remember to update a website.
Insurance
Public liability $20m any one occurrence, with defence costs in addition, and products liability the same. Professional indemnity $2m any one claim and $4m in the aggregate. Workers compensation current. Certificates of currency on request — ask and we’ll send them.
The standards themselves are published by Standards Australia. Everything above is a plain-English summary, not a substitute for them.
For fire protection companies
Send us the door work
It comes back tagged, certified and right the first time, and the certificate goes out in your name. We don’t approach your client and we don’t put our name on your job.
And if you’re stuck on a door, just call. We give fire companies advice on doors fairly often, and we don’t charge for it.
For strata managers, owners and builders
Find out what actually needs doing
We’ll look at what you’ve actually got, tell you what needs doing and what doesn’t, and give you a price before you commit to anything.
Tell us what you’ve got
A defect report, an inspection notice, or just a photo of the door. We’ll tell you what it needs — and if it doesn’t need replacing, we’ll tell you that too.
