Fire Door Inspection & Installation Services
Fire doors are a critical aspect of fire safety in any building, being part of the structure’s compartmentation to contain fires within areas of the building and slow the spread of fire and smoke so that escape routes remain safe for as long as possible. Under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person of a company must ensure that fire doors are installed and maintained as necessary to keep them fit for purpose at all times.

How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected?
How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected?
Fire door inspection frequency
BS 9999 states that fire door inspections should be carried out every 6 months. This refers to a more thorough fire door inspection by a competent person. Whilst BS 9999 provides a good benchmark, the frequency of these inspections may need to vary based on other factors. For example, in a new building, more frequent inspections may be required as the doors acclimatise. In a warehouse environment, fire doors may be subject to extreme temperatures and varying moisture levels and so more regular inspections may be required. In high traffic areas or areas where doors are more likely to be vandalised, more regular inspections may be needed and in areas of very little traffic, less frequent inspections may be required.
Taking a 'risk-based' approach helps to ensure that critical doors are prioritised. When doors that are likely to be in use more, are more likely to be vandalised or are high priority in terms of protecting life are inspected more regularly, this ensures any critical issues are quickly identified and attended to quickly.
Safelincs’ accredited fire door inspectors will carry out an inspection at your site anywhere in the UK. Our team will work with you to establish the best type of inspection for your premises. Following the fire door inspection you will receive a full report, detailing the priority of follow-up work (if any).
Fire door check frequency
Fire door checks should be carried out more regularly than inspections. This can be done by the Responsible Person or another nominated person who has received training on what to check for. In accordance with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, in residential buildings over 11m, fire door checks should be carried out quarterly on all communal fire doors and annually on flat entrance doors.
Regular checks can be carried out using our free fire door checklist and more information on maintenance checks can be found in our help guide on fire door maintenance.
