Common Questions About Fire Door Safety

Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about fire door compliance, inspection, and maintenance.

How often do fire doors need to be inspected?
Fire doors should be checked regularly to remain compliant. High-use/communal doors should be inspected every 3-6 months, while lower-use doors should be checked at least annually. Regular inspections ensure early detection of issues and maintain compliance with fire safety regulations.
The most common fire door faults include: missing or damaged door closers, excessive gaps around the door leaf, damaged or painted-over intumescent seals, doors that do not close fully or latch properly, and fire doors being wedged open. Each of these issues can compromise the fire door’s ability to contain fire and smoke.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the ‘Responsible Person’ (usually the building owner, landlord, or employer) is legally obligated to ensure fire doors are properly maintained. Failure to comply can result in prosecution, unlimited fines, and imprisonment.
A standard fire door inspection typically takes 10-15 minutes per door, depending on its condition and accessibility. For larger buildings with multiple fire doors, we can provide efficient scheduling to minimise disruption to your operations.
Many fire door issues can be repaired rather than requiring full replacement. Common repairs include replacing seals, adjusting closers, filling gaps, and replacing damaged hardware. Our experienced engineers will assess each door and recommend the most cost-effective solution while maintaining compliance.
Yes, upon completion of inspection and any necessary remedial work, we provide comprehensive documentation including inspection reports and maintenance schedules. This documentation serves as evidence of your compliance with fire safety regulations.
