Fire Door Survey & Inspection Reports

Independent Fire Door Inspections with Detailed Compliance Reporting

  Fire doors are a legal requirement and a critical life safety system. Regular inspection ensures they perform as intended in the event of a fire and remain compliant with UK legislation.

  We provide professional fire door surveys and detailed inspection reports across the UK for commercial, residential, and public sector buildings.
 

Why Fire Door Inspections Are Essential

  Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, Responsible Persons must ensure fire doors are:

• Maintained in an efficient working order

• Inspected regularly

• Capable of resisting fire and smoke spread

• Fully compliant with installation standards

  Failure to maintain compliant fire doors can result in enforcement action, prosecution, invalidated insurance, and serious life safety risk.
 

What Our Fire Door Survey Covers

  Every inspection is carried out systematically and in line with current industry guidance and standards, including:

• BS 8214 – Installation of fire door assemblies

• BS EN 1935 – Hinges

• BS EN 1154 – Door closers

• BS EN 1634 – Fire resistance performance

• BS 476 – Fire testing standards

• Certifire and third-party certification requirements
   

We Inspect:

✔ Door leaf condition (damage, delamination, alterations)
✔ Certification labels and traceability
✔ Frame condition and compatibility
✔ Gaps and tolerances (leaf to frame and threshold)
✔ Intumescent and smoke seals
✔ Hinges (correct grade, fixings, CE marking)
✔ Door closers (operation, power size, compliance)
✔ Latches and locks
✔ Fire-rated glazing and bead systems
✔ Signage
✔ Hold-open devices and automatic release systems
✔ Overall installation compliance

Each door is assessed as a complete fire-resisting assembly.
