Fire Door Inspection Services

Our fire door inspection services are designed to ensure compliance, enhance safety, and give you complete peace of mind.

We provide thorough, reliable inspections to help protect your premises, occupants, and escape routes, ensuring your fire doors perform exactly as they should in the event of an emergency.

Why Fire Doors Matter

Fire doors are a critical life safety feature within any building. Designed to resist fire and smoke for a specified period (typically 30 minutes or more), they play a vital role in:

  • Containing fire and limiting its spread

  • Preventing the movement of toxic smoke

  • Protecting escape routes

  • Allowing occupants time to evacuate safely

 

In multi-occupied buildings, particularly those with shared communal areas, fire doors are not just important, they are legally required.

 
Legal Requirements

Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, Responsible Persons must ensure fire doors are regularly inspected and maintained.

This includes:

  • Quarterly checks of all fire doors in communal areas (including self-closing devices)

  • Annual inspections of flat entrance doors leading onto communal areas (where reasonably practicable)

 

Failure to comply can result in serious safety risks and potential legal consequences.

What is a Fire Door Inspection Survey?

A Fire Door Inspection Survey provides a detailed assessment of the condition, performance, and compliance of fire door sets within your building.

The aim is to identify any defects, deterioration, or non-compliance issues and provide clear guidance on necessary remedial actions.

What You’ll Receive

Following your inspection, you will receive a clear, professional report including:

  • Detailed findings for each fire door

  • Identification of defects and non-compliance issues

  • Photographic evidence (where required)

  • Practical, prioritised recommendations

  • Guidance on remedial actions

 

Our reports are designed to be easy to understand and support you in maintaining compliance and improving safety.
