Fire Doors Inspection
Fire doors are a crucial factor when it comes to saving lives during a fire. Since fire doors are tested in fire tests only under certain conditions (where all components are working and properly attached), it is important to check all components regularly. Sometimes, a single faulty component can cause the door to fail during a fire. Fire doors are rated to hold back fire from 30 minutes, and those 30 minutes can be vital for allowing someone to exit the building. This is why fire doors need to be inspected regularly to ensure the safety of the entire building.
Our team of certified fire door inspectors is here to help, offering thorough fire door inspections across London to keep you compliant with the law and, more importantly, to keep people safe.

Fire Door Inspection & Remedial Works
Fire door inspections are essential for ensuring that your health and safety measures are fully effective. As part of our comprehensive range of services, we provide detailed fire door inspections, available annually for flat doors and quarterly for communal doors.
Our inspection process involves checking all fire doors on-site to confirm they are safe, compliant, and effective in protecting occupants and assets from smoke and flames in the event of a fire. We conduct industry-specific checks on each fire door and provide you with a detailed report, complete with images, highlighting any potential hazards and areas of non-compliance.
The inspection includes:
-
Identification of potential issues: We identify any defects or conditions that could impair the performance of your fire doors.
-
Detailed reporting: You will receive a comprehensive report along with recommendations for essential and advisable improvements to meet safety regulations.
-
Repair proposals: Our repair proposal includes suggestions for necessary repairs, replacement doors or maintenance, to ensure ongoing compliance.

How Fire Door Inspector can help maintain compliance
According to The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and related British Standards (BS 8214), fire doors are tested as a complete doorset under specific conditions. This means that individual components cannot be replaced with visually similar alternatives, as they may not have been tested together or may not comply with the necessary fire resistance requirements for that type of door. Replacing parts with non-tested or incorrect components can compromise the door's ability to contain fire and smoke.
Therefore, all fire door inspections must be conducted by a qualified professional who understands the standards and can ensure full compliance.
Even seemingly minor issues, such as the wear and tear of intumescent seals or improper placement of fire door signage, can lead to non-compliance and potentially invalidate your building insurance. Proper inspection and maintenance are crucial to ensure fire door integrity and adherence to legal requirements.
