The Inspection
What Every Fire Door Inspection Covers
Our FDIS-approved inspectors carry out a component-by-component assessment of each fire door against current UK fire safety standards — not a cursory visual check, but a methodical survey of every element that determines whether a door will perform in a fire.
01
Door Leaf & Frame Condition
Inspects the physical integrity of the door leaf and surrounding frame — damage, warping, gaps, and evidence of unauthorised modifications that could compromise fire resistance.
02
Intumescent & Smoke Seals
Verifies the presence, condition and correct specification of intumescent seals and cold smoke seals — the critical barriers that expand in heat and prevent smoke passage.
03
Door Closer — Operation & Adjustment
Tests that the self-closing device returns the door fully to the closed and latched position from any angle, with no manual assistance required.
04
Hinges — Type, Quantity & Condition
Confirms the correct number of fire-rated hinges are fitted, in the correct specification, correctly fixed, and in sound working condition with no wear or damage.
05
Gap Measurements
Measures gaps at head, jamb and threshold against the permitted tolerances — excessive gaps are one of the most common and critical fire door failures.
06
Ironmongery, Glazing & Signage
Checks all ironmongery is fire-rated and correctly fitted, glazing panels are of correct specification and undamaged, and all required signage is present and legible.

Same-Day Remedials Available
Where minor remedial works are required following an inspection — seal replacements, gap corrections, closer adjustments — our inspectors can often carry these out on the same visit, subject to the scope of work.
This means fewer visits, faster compliance and lower overall cost for your building.

Legal Duty
Why Fire Door Inspections Are a Legal Requirement
Fire door inspections are not optional. Multiple pieces of UK legislation place a direct legal duty on building owners, landlords and responsible persons to ensure fire doors are regularly inspected, maintained and fit for purpose.
01
Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
Requires responsible persons for multi-occupied residential buildings above 11 metres to conduct quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance fire doors. Failure to comply is a criminal offence.
02
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Requires all non-domestic premises to carry out and regularly review a fire risk assessment. Fire doors are a critical component of the passive fire protection system and their condition must be assessed and documented.
03
Building Safety Act 2022
Strengthens the accountability of those responsible for high-rise buildings and introduces the Accountable Person role — with personal liability for fire safety obligations including the ongoing condition of fire doors throughout the building.
How Often Must Fire Doors Be Inspected?
Every 3 Months — Communal Doors
Communal fire doors in multi-occupied residential buildings above 11m must be checked quarterly by the responsible person under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
Every 12 Months — Flat Entrance Doors
Flat entrance fire doors in the same building type must be inspected annually. Residents must be given reasonable access to allow these checks to be carried out.
Annually — Commercial Premises
Fire doors in offices, retail, hospitality and mixed-use buildings should be inspected at least annually as part of the fire risk assessment cycle — or more frequently in high-traffic environments.
After Damage or Modification
Any fire door that has been damaged, repaired, or subject to modification should be re-inspected immediately to confirm its fire resistance is uncompromised.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do your fire door inspectors hold?
All our fire door inspectors are FDIS (Fire Door Inspection Scheme) approved — the industry-recognised standard for inspector competency in the UK. FDIS approval demonstrates that the inspector has been assessed against a nationally recognised competency framework and is qualified to survey and certify fire doors.
How long does a fire door inspection take?
The time required depends on the number of doors and the building type. As a general guide, a residential block with 20–30 fire doors typically takes half a day. Larger buildings or those requiring simultaneous remedial works will take longer. We will confirm a realistic time estimate when scoping the survey.
Can you carry out repairs on the same day as an inspection?
In many cases, yes. Where minor remedial works are required — such as intumescent seal replacement, gap correction or closer adjustment — our inspectors can carry these out on the same visit, subject to the scope of the work. More extensive works such as door set replacement will be scheduled as a separate visit.
What happens if a fire door fails its inspection?
Any door that fails its inspection is clearly marked as such in the report, with the specific defects identified and remedial works recommended. We will provide a prioritised schedule of works and can carry out the remediation ourselves — either on the same day for minor items or via a follow-up visit for more significant works.
Do I receive a certificate after the inspection?
Yes. Following every survey we issue an overall compliance certificate for the building, alongside the full digital report. This is suitable for presentation to the fire authority, local council, insurers, managing agents and any other party requiring evidence of fire door compliance.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We cover Greater London in its entirety — North, South, East, West and Central London — as well as the surrounding Home Counties including Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Berkshire. We also operate in Birmingham and the wider South East. Contact us if you are unsure whether your location falls within our service area.
