Fire Door Inspections
Fire doors hold back fire and smoke so people can escape. We check they will do their job, and tell you clearly what needs putting right.
Is your fire door doing its job?
Fire doors are one of the most important parts of a building’s fire protection. Damage, poor fitting, missing seals and everyday wear can quickly stop them working.
We check each door and give you a written report with photos, noting any defects and the work needed to put them right. We can also recommend or arrange suitable remedial work.
What we check
- Door leaf and frame condition
- Gaps around the door
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closing devices
- Hinges, locks and hardware
- Glazing, signage and certification

Fire door FAQs
How often should fire doors be inspected?
It depends on the building and how the doors are used, and your fire risk assessment should say. Busy doors may need checking more often. In blocks of flats in England over 11 metres tall, communal fire doors must be checked every three months.
Do you carry out repairs to fire doors?
Our report sets out what needs doing, and we can recommend or arrange suitable remedial work.
What will I receive?
A written report with photos, listing each door, any defects found and the work needed to put them right.
Is a fire door inspection part of a fire risk assessment?
A fire risk assessment looks at fire doors as part of the whole building. A fire door inspection is a closer, door-by-door check, useful where there are many fire doors or where the assessment recommends one.
