We connect you with fully accredited inspectors who handle the entire process—from on-site surveys and detailed checks to the final report—so you receive expert guidance without any hassle.

The Fire Door Inspection Process

1. Initial Enquiry

You provide us with the key details about your property through our simple online form. We’ll ask for information on the number of fire doors to be inspected, the building type, and the location to scope your project accurately.

2. Gather Quotes

Based on your enquiry, we connect you with our network of fully vetted and accredited fire door inspectors. We then gather competitive, transparent quotes on your behalf, providing you with a due diligence pack so you can verify each professional’s credentials with confidence.

3. Inspection Arrangements:

Once you’ve selected your preferred professional, we facilitate the booking of the inspection at a time that is convenient for you. This includes coordinating all necessary access arrangements to ensure a smooth and efficient process.

4. The Inspection

A qualified professional will conduct a detailed, non-destructive inspection of each fire door. This includes a thorough assessment of all critical components, such as the door leaf, frame, hinges, closing mechanisms, seals, and hardware, all carried out in compliance with BS 8214:2016.

5. Final Report

Upon completion, you will receive a comprehensive report with photographic evidence of any defects. The report includes a clear action plan, outlining any required remedial work and its priority, which serves as a full and auditable record for your fire safety logbook.

What is a Fire Door Inspection and When is it Needed?

A fire door inspection is a detailed, non-destructive investigation into the condition, integrity, and compliance of a building’s fire doors. It goes beyond a simple visual check and specifically assesses the door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, and all associated hardware to ensure they would perform as intended in a fire.

A professional inspection follows the methodology set out in BS 8214:2016, providing an expert judgment on whether each door poses a fire risk and what, if any, remedial work is required to ensure its proper function.

A fire door inspection is required when there is a need to confirm that these critical fire safety assets would function as designed.

Legal Compliance – The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all fire safety provisions, including fire doors, to be maintained in a good state of repair and efficient working order.
Fire Risk Assessment Recommendations – The person responsible for the building must ensure that the fire doors are regularly inspected as part of the ongoing fire risk assessment and maintenance program.
Following Remedial Works – An inspection is necessary to verify that fire doors have been properly installed or repaired by a competent person.
Insurance Purposes – Insurers may require proof of regular fire door inspections before offering or renewing cover.
Resident or Building Occupant Concerns – If occupants are worried about the condition of fire doors, a professional inspection provides a definitive and auditable report.
Building Safety Act – The new building safety regime places a greater responsibility on the Responsible Person for the maintenance of fire safety measures, which includes regular and documented fire door inspections.

How Much Does a Fire Door Inspection Cost?

The cost of a fire door inspection varies depending on the number of doors and the complexity of the building. Unlike a simple survey, a professional inspection requires a detailed, door-by-door assessment, with the final price reflecting the time and expertise needed to produce a fully compliant and auditable report.

Factors that affect the cost include:

Number of Fire Doors: The primary factor in pricing is the total number of doors that need to be inspected.
Building Type: Inspections in large, complex, or high-rise residential buildings may require more time and logistical planning than those in smaller commercial properties.
Door Condition: Doors that are in poor condition or have multiple defects may require more time for detailed reporting and photographic evidence.
Accessibility: Difficult-to-access doors, or those in remote parts of a building, can add to the inspection time.
The Final Report: The time and expertise required to compile a comprehensive, detailed report with photographic evidence and an action plan is a significant component of the overall cost.

When you request fire door inspection quotes through us, we obtain multiple fixed-scope quotes that clearly outline what’s included. This ensures complete transparency while also giving you the best price—we highlight the most competitive options and flag any that seem unreasonably high, so you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for.

Fire Door Inspection FAQs

What is the legal requirement for fire door inspections?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “Responsible Person” (e.g., the building owner, property manager, or landlord) has a legal duty to ensure all fire safety provisions, including fire doors, are maintained in an efficient state of repair and in good working order. The new Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 further mandates that Responsible Persons for multi-occupied residential buildings above 11 metres in height must arrange for quarterly checks of all fire doors in the communal areas and annual checks of all flat entrance doors.

Why do I need to hire a professional for this? Can’t a maintenance person do it?

A professional inspection requires specific expertise that a general maintenance person may not have. Fire doors are complex, life-safety devices. An accredited inspector is trained to identify subtle but critical defects—such as incorrect gaps, hinge issues, or improper seals—that would compromise the door’s ability to hold back fire and smoke. Hiring a certified professional demonstrates that you have fulfilled your legal duty to use a “competent person,” which is crucial for due diligence.

What exactly does a Fire Door Inspection involve?

A professional Fire Door inspection is a detailed, non-destructive check of all critical components of a fire door and frame. Our inspectors follow British Standard BS 8214:2016 and will check key elements including the door leaf, frame, hinges, closing mechanisms, intumescent strips, smoke seals, and all associated hardware. The inspection is documented with photographic evidence and culminates in a comprehensive report.

What happens if a fire door fails the inspection?

If a fire door is found to have defects, it is crucial to arrange for it to be repaired immediately by a competent person. Your inspection report will provide a clear action plan, often prioritizing a “high,” “medium,” or “low” level of urgency for each defect. Our service can help you find quotes for this remedial work, ensuring the repairs are carried out to the correct standards.

I am a leaseholder trying to sell my flat. Why am I being asked for this?

Following the Building Safety Act, lenders and mortgage providers have become much more stringent about fire safety. Even if you are not the “Responsible Person” for the building, the condition of your flat’s entrance door is critical to the overall fire safety of the block. A detailed inspection report can provide the reassurance that lenders and potential buyers require, helping to facilitate the sale of your property.

How often do fire doors need to be inspected?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 mandate quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors for residential blocks over 11 metres. For other buildings, the frequency is determined by the Fire Risk Assessment. It is generally considered best practice to have a full, detailed inspection at least annually to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.

Yes. We only work with professionals who are fully vetted and accredited by the industry’s most respected bodies, such as the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) and other UKAS-accredited certification bodies.
