FireAct’s Fire Door Inspection & Fire Door Survey Services
As certified experts, we conduct meticulous fire door inspections and surveys using cutting-edge techniques and tools. Business owners and facility managers can rest assured that fire doors will be in full compliance with regulatory standards and the latest safety regulations.
Inspection of External & Internal Fire Doors
During fire door inspections, careful attention is paid to identifying all escape routes, including the location of internal and external fire doors. Exterior fire doors lead outside and offer speedy evacuation if other exit routes are obstructed in a fire. They should be designed to allow people to flee with minimal difficulty and provide a clear and safe pathway. Alternatively, internal fire doors must resist prolonged fire exposure and slow the spread of flames. These fire doors contain fire-resistant components like hinges and compartments, which help prevent the fire from spreading throughout the property.
Maintaining Fire Door Safety Compliance
When conducting fire inspections and surveys, one of the most critical components to pay attention to is the fire door. Fire doors are designed with specific features to resist the spread of smoke, heat and flames, compartmentalising the building and allowing occupants to escape safely. As such, fire doors are mandatory for all UK commercial properties, and businesses must adhere to the Regulatory Reform (fire safety) Order 2005, a regulation which requires fire risk assessments to be conducted on a regular basis.
Fire Door Inspection Requirements
Fire doors are an essential safety feature in any building as they act as a barrier against spreading fire and smoke. However, it is crucial to note that simply having fire doors in your building is not enough – they should also be inspected and maintained every six months in accordance with British Standards “BS 9999:2017 Fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings – code of practice”
Minimum requirements for inspecting fire doors involve a thorough assessment of the door, its frame and hardware. This includes searching for any signs of damage or compromise to the door’s structural integrity. Our accredited fire door inspectors are well-versed in the most important safety standards that ensure your fire doors comply with building codes.
Employers, facilities managers, or the designated “responsible person” is accountable for ensuring that their facility does not create a substantial risk of harm in the event of a fire. Regular fire door inspections are an essential component of this duty of care.
Failure to comply with inspection requirements could make an accountable person liable if a fire outbreak happens and the door is malfunctioning or not up to code. As a matter of fact, authorities have the power to enforce these mandates and prosecute those who do not adhere to the imposed standards.
Penalties can include:
Thousands in fines
Business closure
Imprisonment
Who Is Responsible For Fire Door Inspections?
Businesses and building operators should appoint someone to manage the fire door surveys and inspections and oversee their maintenance. Regular fire door inspections and surveys are vital to maintain fire safety standards and ensure that the doors remain effective in an emergency. If a property does not pass a fire risk assessment, it is the responsibility of the facility manager to replace the door immediately.
Stay Compliant With FireAct

Protecting your property, employees, and customers from the dangers of a fire is essential. Regular inspections and surveys are an excellent way to help reduce risks and ensure compliance with regulations.
