The Importance of Fire Door Inspections

As a trusted maintenance partner with over 35 years of experience, we are proud to offer specialist Fire Door Inspection Services across London and the Home Counties.

Why Fire Door Inspections Matter

Fire doors are a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection system. When properly installed and maintained, they prevent the spread of fire and smoke, allowing vital time for occupants to evacuate and for emergency services to respond. However, their effectiveness depends entirely on regular, expert inspection and maintenance.

UK regulations, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and more recently the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, place legal responsibilities on building owners and responsible persons to ensure that fire doors are fit for purpose and adequately maintained.

Common Issues Found During Inspections

Our experienced inspectors frequently encounter problems such as:

• Misaligned doors that do not close properly
• Damaged or missing intumescent strips and cold smoke seals
• Inappropriate gaps around the door perimeter
• Non-compliant glazing or vision panels
• Inadequate signage or lack of certification markings

These faults can seriously compromise a fire door’s integrity and effectiveness.
