Why Fire Door Inspections Matter
Fire doors are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, giving people time to evacuate safely and minimising damage.
Under UK law, the Responsible Person, whether a landlord, employer, or property manager, must ensure that all fire doors are maintained and checked regularly by a competent person.
Failure to meet these requirements can lead to legal action, invalidated insurance, and serious safety risks.
By arranging scheduled fire door inspections, you’re ensuring compliance, safety, and peace of mind.
How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected?
Fire doors should be inspected every six months as a minimum, in line with BS 8214 and BS 9999 guidance.
For high-risk premises such as hospitals, schools, care homes, or multi-occupancy buildings, quarterly inspections are strongly advised.
If you’re unsure how often your property requires checks, our team can advise based on your building type and usage.

frequently asked questions.
How often should fire doors be inspected?
Fire doors should be inspected at least every six months in accordance with BS 8214 and BS 9999.
High-risk buildings such as schools, hospitals, care homes, or blocks of flats should have quarterly inspections to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.
Who is responsible for arranging fire door inspections?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person — typically the building owner, landlord, or employer — is legally required to ensure all fire doors are properly maintained and inspected by a competent person.
What happens if a fire door fails inspection?
If a fire door fails an inspection, our report will clearly outline the reasons and recommended remedial actions.
This may include adjustments, repairs, or replacement of certain components.
Our detailed reports make it simple to prioritise and complete any remedial works needed to restore compliance.
Do I need to replace all non-compliant fire doors?
Not always. Many non-compliance issues — such as damaged seals, incorrect gaps, or faulty closers — can be repaired rather than replaced.
Our inspectors will always recommend the most cost-effective and compliant solution.
What is included in the fire door inspection report?
Each report includes:
-
Photos of every inspected door
-
Asset QR codes
-
Compliance grading and defect notes
-

This ensures complete transparency and helps you take prompt action to stay compliant.

Yes — while our main office is based in Greater Manchester, we provide nationwide coverage across the UK.
