Know what is wrong and what comes next
Full assembly check
We inspect the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, glazing and hardware.
Defects prioritised
We identify faults affecting closing, latching and compartmentation.
Useful recommendations
We set out practical repair, remedial or replacement routes.
Inspect more than the face of the door
A fire door can look tidy and still fail to close, latch or seal as intended. Our fire door inspection covers the complete assembly rather than relying on a quick glance at the leaf. We examine the frame, gaps, hinges, closer, latch, seals, glazing and threshold. We also check visible labels, ratings and signage where present, as these details can help establish what is installed. The closing path is tested so we can identify binding, weak latching or hardware that stops the leaf reaching its proper position. This gives commercial duty-holders an informed view of each opening and the faults that could affect smoke control, compartmentation or everyday operation.
Turn findings into practical next steps
A long defect list is not much use unless you know what to do with it. We record the condition clearly, group important findings and provide straightforward recommendations. Depending on the assembly, the next step may involve adjustment, closer work, new seals, wider remedial work or complete replacement. We can inspect a single property or support an overview across a broader portfolio, using a consistent approach to the door components. Our reports help facilities and property managers understand where attention is needed, discuss priorities internally and plan a sensible route forward instead of treating every recorded fault as though it requires the same response.
Frequently asked questions
What do you check during a fire door inspection?
We inspect the leaf, frame, gaps, hinges, closer, latch, seals, glazing and threshold. We also review visible signs, labels and ratings, then test how the door closes and engages with the latch.
Will the inspection tell us which doors need replacing?
We report the condition and recommend repair, remedial work or replacement where appropriate. The decision depends on the defects, known specification, compatibility and whether the existing assembly can be restored.
Can you inspect doors across several properties?
Yes. We can support duty-holders managing an individual property or a wider portfolio. We discuss the door quantities, access and reporting needs first so the inspection programme can be planned efficiently.
