Fire Door Inspections & Surveys

Fire doors, also known as fire safety doors, are vital components of a building’s fire compartmentation strategy. They act as a crucial barrier, containing flames and smoke within designated areas. This allows precious time for occupants to evacuate safely and for firefighters to extinguish the blaze.

Door, Frame, and Hardware:

We inspect the door and frame for damage, warping, misalignment, or improper installation. We also check for any modifications that could hinder the door’s functionality.

Self-Closing Mechanism:

We assess the door’s self-closing mechanism, ensuring it closes smoothly and completely without any obstructions.

Intumescent Seals:

We verify the condition of the intumescent seals, which expand when exposed to heat, creating a tighter seal around the door.

Fire Door Inspections: frequently asked questions

How often should fire doors be inspected?

In blocks of flats over 11 metres, the law requires communal fire doors to be checked every 3 months and flat entrance doors every year. For other premises, BS 8214 recommends inspections every six months, or more often for heavily used doors.

What does a fire door inspection check?

We check the door and its frame, the seals, the gaps around the door and the self-closer, so the door will close fully and hold back fire and smoke.

Do I need a specialist to inspect my fire doors?

Routine checks can be done by your own staff. A specialist inspection gives you a detailed, evidenced report to show you are maintaining your fire doors properly.
