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.

Our Fire Door Inspection guides and FAQs make it easy for leaseholders, property managers, and freeholders to understand every step — from what inspections involve and who can carry them out, to how often they’re required. Ensure your building meets BS 8214:2016, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and other legal obligations, all while protecting occupants and reducing liability.

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.

Are your inspectors qualified?

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. We provide a due diligence pack with every quote so you can verify their credentials, insurance, and professional memberships. This is our promise of competence and quality.
