Ask the team
What does a fire door inspection include?
A fire door inspection checks all key components, the door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, gaps, glazing, and how the door opens and closes, to ensure it performs safely. You’ll receive clear findings and recommendations based on recognised inspection standards.
How often should fire doors be inspected in the UK?
Inspection frequency depends on your building type. Many fire doors require annual or six‑monthly checks, while some communal areas in taller buildings need quarterly inspections. We help you determine the correct schedule for your site.
Who is qualified to carry out a fire door inspection?
Fire doors must be inspected by a competent person with the right training, knowledge, and experience. At FDISUK, our trained specialists ensure inspections meet industry standards and provide reliable compliance guidance.
What are the most common reasons fire doors fail inspections?
Most failures are due to issues like excessive gaps, damaged seals, faulty door closers, warped doors, or non‑compliant glazing and hardware. These problems can significantly reduce fire performance and are usually straightforward to put right once identified.
Can a damaged fire door be repaired, or does it always need replacing?
No, not all damaged fire doors need replacing. Many issues can be repaired safely and restored to compliance unless the damage is severe or structural. We’ll always recommend the most appropriate and cost‑effective option.
How do I know if my fire doors are correctly installed?
A correctly installed fire door should close fully, latch securely, have consistent gaps, intact seals, compliant hardware, and no signs of damage. If anything looks off, a professional check can confirm whether it meets safety requirements.
What UK fire door regulations do I need to comply with?
Fire door compliance is governed by the Fire Safety Order 2005, the Fire Safety Act 2021, and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. These set out where fire doors are required and how they must be inspected, maintained, and recorded.
How can I check if my fire doors are still compliant?
You can do a quick visual check, look for correct gaps, working closers, intact seals, undamaged materials, and proper latching. Any concerns should be followed up with a professional inspection to verify full compliance.
What happens after a fire door inspection — will I receive a report?
Yes, you’ll receive a clear report outlining which doors are compliant, which need attention, and the recommended actions. It’s designed to help you prioritise and stay fully compliant without confusion.
How quickly can fire door remedial works be completed?
Timelines vary depending on the type and volume of repairs, but many issues can be resolved quickly once identified. We prioritise safety‑critical defects and schedule work promptly to minimise disruption.
Why are fire door gaps and seals so important for compliance?
Correct gaps and functioning seals are essential because they stop smoke and fire from spreading prematurely. Even small defects can reduce a door’s performance significantly, which is why regular checks are vital.
