Fire door surveys.
Condition assessments and compliance audits for fire doors in residential, commercial and managed buildings, with a written report you can act on.
—Overview
How we approach surveys.
A fire door only performs as tested when every part of it is right: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and signage. Our surveys examine each door individually and record what we find, so that the responsible person has a clear picture of the condition of their doors and of any work that is needed.
Surveys are carried out with reference to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, BS 8214 and, where they apply to your building, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. We report what we see and explain why it matters, without overstating risk or recommending work that is not required.
Who it is for
Building owners, managing agents, housing providers, HMO landlords, facilities managers and anyone acting as the responsible person for a building.
