Fire Door Inspections
Professional Inspections | FDIS Diploma (Dip) & FireQual qualified | Isle of Wight coverage
EVERY CRITICAL ELEMENT CHECKED
What We Inspect
Our fire door inspections assess the condition and performance of each door to ensure it can function correctly in the event of a fire.
We carry out a thorough visual and functional inspection of accessible components, identifying defects, damage or non-compliance that could compromise fire safety, including:
- Fire door condition and integrity
- Door gaps, seals, tolerances and clearances
- Hinges, closers and ironmongery
- Door leaf and frame
- Self-closing performance
- Signs of damage or poor installation
- Overall door operation
Where issues are identified, these are clearly recorded with photographic evidence and prioritised within the inspection report to support informed decision-making and compliance.

FIRE DOOR COMPLIANCE
Are Your Fire Doors Safe?
If you are a building owner, landlord, managing agent or designated Responsible Person, you have a legal duty to ensure that fire doors are properly maintained and function as intended.
Fire door inspections help demonstrate that fire doors are in good condition, appropriate for their location, and capable of performing correctly in the event of a fire. Regular inspections also support ongoing fire risk assessments, audits and insurance requirements.
Our fire door inspections are carried out in line with current UK fire safety guidance and best practice, including:
- The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
- BS 8214:2016 (timber-based fire door assemblies)
- Approved Document B
- Manufacturer and certification guidance
If you’re unsure what applies to your building or how often inspections are required, we’re happy to help explain this in clear, practical terms.
