Thorough, methodical inspections by qualified professionals. We check every component, document every finding, and give you the complete picture of your compliance status.
Book Your InspectionEvery fire door has multiple critical components. We check them all — because a failure in any single element can compromise the entire assembly.
Condition, thickness, markings, and fire rating certification. We verify the door itself is compliant.
Material, installation, and gap dimensions. Frame-to-wall gaps must meet strict specifications.
Number, type, and condition. Fire-rated hinges with the correct fixings are essential.
Operation, type, and fixing. Self-closing doors are required in most locations.
Functionality and fire rating certification. Panic hardware where required.
Location, type, and condition. Seals expand in heat to close gaps around the door.
Smoke seals prevent cold smoke passage before temperatures rise high enough to activate intumescent strips. Their presence and condition are critical.
Any glazing must be fire-rated. We check glazing certification, beading, and frame condition.
We measure gaps around all sides of the door — typically 2-4mm at sides and top, with correct threshold clearance at the bottom.
How often should fire doors be inspected? Industry guidance recommends a minimum of every 12 months, but high-risk environments and buildings with vulnerable occupants may require more frequent checks.
In HMOs, local authority licence conditions may require more frequent inspections than the national minimum guidance. Always check your specific licence conditions.
