Fire Door Inspections

Fire door inspections are a crucial aspect of building safety and compliance, article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Fire doors are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building, providing occupants with a protected means of escape and protecting property from extensive damage.

Fire door inspections are conducted by our certified professionals with expertise in fire safety and building codes. It's essential for building owners and managers to prioritise regular inspections and maintenance of fire doors to ensure the safety of occupants and compliance with regulations.

Regular Inspections: New regulations mandate that all fire doors in residential buildings over 11 meters must be inspected at least quarterly. These inspections should be documented, and any defects should be addressed immediately.

 

 

Fire Door Inspections

What we do

Fire Door Surveys are a robust fire protection measure which should be undertaken, alongside a maintenance schedule, like any other life safety system in a building.

Fire doors help slow the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building, not only to protect lives, but also to protect the property and neighbouring buildings. This only applies, however, if they are correctly maintained in a working condition.

In addition to the references from various design codes, standards and guidance documents, we strongly urge companies to have the condition of their fire doors periodically checked. Failure to do so could dramatically increase the threat level should a fire occur.

Since the uncovering of drastic failings of passive fire protection in various building fires, such as the Grenfell Tower disaster, the importance for suitable checks of passive fire protection has been significantly highlighted


How we can help

Regular inspections help identify any issues or deficiencies in fire doors, ensuring they meet the required standards and regulations. City Compliance fire door inspections are conducted in accordance with relevant building codes, fire safety standards, and regulations.

City Compliance arrived promptly and conducted a comprehensive examination of all fire doors throughout our facility. They meticulously checked each door for any signs of wear, damage, or improper functioning, ensuring that every aspect of fire safety was thoroughly evaluated.
