Service Overview

Fire door surveys examine the visible condition and performance-related features of fire doors and associated components. Where relevant, the service can also record wider visible passive fire protection issues identified during the inspection, helping clients understand how these matters may affect compartmentation and fire safety performance.

When You May Need This Service

You may need this service when a building requires fire door checks, when there are concerns about door condition or performance, or when the findings of a fire risk assessment point to the need for a more detailed fire door review. It is also useful when remedial or maintenance decisions need to be informed by a structured inspection.

Regulatory Context

Fire door inspection duties differ across the UK. In England, additional requirements for certain multi-occupied residential buildings are set out in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. In other UK jurisdictions, duties typically arise under applicable fire safety legislation, risk assessment requirements, building management responsibilities, and the general need to maintain fire precautions in effective working order. The exact scope depends on the building type, use and jurisdiction.
