Fire Door Surveys
What is it?
Fire doors are designed to restrict the spread of fire and smoke, helping to protect escape routes and providing occupants with more time to evacuate safely. A professional fire door inspection assesses whether the door assembly and its components remain suitable and operational for the building's intended use. The inspection identifies defects and provides clear priorities for repair, maintenance, or further specialist advice.
Why do we need it?
Fire doors form a critical part of a building's fire safety measures and support the findings of the fire risk assessment. To remain effective, they must be maintained in good working order.
How do we do it?
Our inspection considers the building's use, fire strategy, and any available records. We assess:
Door leaf and frame condition
Glazing and vision panels
Hinges and ironmongery
Self-closing devices
Intumescent strips and smoke seals
Door and frame gaps
Fire door signage
Visible damage and wear
Hold-open devices and arrangements, where applicable
Following the inspection, we produce a clear defect report with prioritised recommendations. The report distinguishes between routine checks that can be completed by the responsible person and issues requiring professional assessment, repair, or replacement.
