FIRE DOOR INSPECTIONS

 

Fire doors save lives and properties. They are essential in all buildings to prevent the flow of smoke and fire, provide critical protection within a building such as escape routes, stairs and corridors and help provide a way for occupants to safely escape a building.

 

Just like other life safety devices, such as fire extinguishers and alarms, fire doors must have periodic inspection, testing and maintenance to ensure that they will perform as intended in a fire situation, and meet the requirements of article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005.

​

Current guidance recommends that fire doors and their components should be checked periodically as determined by the building’s fire risk assessment. This is usually every 6 months, or more regularly if it is used frequently.

​

During a fire door inspection our technicians will check for a number of components including: certification, gaps around the door frame and threshold, seals, hinges safety signage, fire rated glass, locks, and whether the door closes properly.

 

Following the fire door inspection you will receive a detailed report which will outline the condition and functionality of each door, plus a full list of any remedial work that is needed to bring the doors up to the necessary standard.
