Inside a fire door inspection

A fire door is a tested assembly. If any one of these fails, the whole door fails. Explore what our inspectors check on every door, every visit.

Certification label

A numbered label on the leaf top or hinge edge identifies the manufacturer and certification scheme. Our Q-Mark installation label sits on the frame. No label, no evidence — and that is the most common gap we find.

Inspector’s check: Is there a legible, traceable label?
How it works

Each step produces something you can file, budget against or show an auditor.

01

Survey

Every door referenced, photographed and assessed against its certification.

Output: door schedule & asset register

02

Prioritise & price

Doors grouped into pass, remediate or replace, with a fixed price for each action.

Output: priced remedial schedule

03

Remediate

Doors that can be saved are put right with compatible, fire-tested parts.

Output: record of works per door

04

Replace

Doors past saving are replaced with Q-Mark doorsets, phased around occupants.

Output: Q-Mark installation certificate per door

05

Hand over & maintain

O&M pack issued and an inspection cycle set up so the building stays compliant.

Output: O&M pack & inspection programme

Why it matters

Fire Safety Order 2005

The Responsible Person carries the duty

In England and Wales, whoever controls a non-domestic building or the common parts of a block must keep its fire safety measures — fire doors included — in efficient working order.

Fire Safety (England) Regs 2022

Checks you must be able to evidence

In residential buildings over 11 m, communal fire doors must be checked every three months and flat entrance doors every year, on a best-endeavours basis. We run the cycle and keep the record.

Evidence, not assumption

Paperwork is part of the door

Insurers, fire officers and auditors increasingly ask for proof. A labelled door, an installation certificate and a photographed record are what turns “we think it’s fine” into evidence.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland each have their own fire safety legislation. We plan inspection and remediation to the duties that apply where your building is.

FAQs

Straight answers from the people who survey, repair and fit fire doors every working day.

You can’t tell by looking. A fire door is only as good as its weakest component — seals, closer, gaps, glazing, hinges and evidence of certification. A door-by-door survey is the only reliable way to know, and it gives you a priced schedule to act on.

Tell us about the building and we will call you back within one working day. Surveys are free for programmes of ten doors or more.
