A fire door inspection is a formal, documented assessment of every fire door in your building — checking that each door meets the requirements of BS 8214, Approved Document B, and the Building Safety Act 2022.
Fire doors are life-safety critical components. A poorly fitted seal, damaged leaf, or faulty closer can render a fire door completely ineffective — allowing fire and smoke to spread through a building in minutes. Our BM TRADA-certified inspectors assess every component against the British Standard, producing a detailed photographic report with a prioritised action plan.
Every inspection is conducted against the British Standard for fire door assemblies, ensuring your doors meet the required performance criteria.
A detailed written report with photographic documentation of each door's condition, defects identified, and a prioritised action plan.
All inspections are carried out by our BM TRADA-certified team — the gold standard for fire door competency in the UK.
From inspection through to remedial works and sign-off — one trusted partner, no need to juggle multiple contractors.
Inspection of the door leaf for damage, warping, or modifications that compromise fire resistance.
Checking that intumescent strips and cold smoke seals are present, undamaged, and correctly fitted around the full perimeter.
Measuring gaps between the door leaf and frame to confirm they fall within permitted tolerances (typically 2–4mm).
Assessing self-closing devices to confirm they close the door fully and without manual assistance from any open position.
Checking that the correct number of CE-marked hinges are fitted, properly secured, and that all hardware is fire-rated.
Assessing the door frame, lining, and surrounding structure for damage, gaps, or penetrations that undermine compartmentation.
Checking that the door carries a valid third-party certification label and that mandatory signage is present and correct.
Ensuring any glazed panels use fire-rated glass and that letterboxes are fitted with compliant intumescent protection.
Each door receives a clear pass, advisory, or fail rating with a prioritised remediation action and photographic evidence.
The following legislation governs fire door inspection frequency and requirements in England and Wales. Non-compliance can result in enforcement action, prosecution, and significant liability.
Every 3 months — communal fire doors in all multi-occupied residential buildings (Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022)
Annually — flat entrance doors in buildings over 11 metres in height (Building Safety Act 2022)
As required — following any fire risk assessment recommendation or after physical damage
More frequently — in high-traffic areas such as stairwells, corridors, and communal entrances
