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.
