Our Process

We follow a structured process so every job is carried out with precision:

Inspection

Each fire door inspection is carried out by a competent person trained to identify defects that could compromise fire safety or regulatory compliance. Our inspections follow recognised fire door standards and assess the full door set, including:

Door leaf and frame condition

Checking for damage, warping, splits, excessive wear, or unauthorised alterations that may affect fire resistance.

Frame-to-leaf gaps

Measuring gaps around the door to ensure they are within permitted tolerances and will prevent the spread of smoke and flames.

Self-closing devices

Confirming closers are correctly fitted, operate smoothly, and fully close the door onto the latch from any open position.

Ironmongery and hardware

Inspecting hinges, locks, latches, handles, panic hardware, and other ironmongery to ensure they are present, securely fixed, undamaged, and working correctly.

Hinges

Verifying the correct number and type of hinges are installed, with all fixings in place and free from wear or failure.

Glazing and vision panels

Checking fire-rated glazing, beads, and seals for damage, correct installation, and suitability for the door’s fire rating.

Intumescent and smoke seals

Ensuring seals are present, continuous, undamaged, and correctly fitted within the leaf or frame.

Signage and labels

Confirming required fire door signage is in place and that certification labels, markings, and identification remain legible and intact.

If issues are found, we advise on the cost of repairs or replacement.
