Fire doors and who certifies competent installers?

Hi, after 50 years in the rental business, I’ve recently become a landlord of a shared flat classified as an HMO, though not a “true” HMO. I’ve been asked to provide both an FD30 fire door certificate and proof of a “competent installer.”
The challenge I’m facing is finding an installer who can self-certify their own competence. From my understanding, BM Trada is the only organisation that can certify the installation. Is this correct? However, I’m having trouble locating anyone willing to certify a single door in a residential property, as opposed to commercial projects.
I’m struggling with what to do? Can anyone from the Property118 community please advise.
Thank you,
Suresh
