What Is A Fire Door Inspection?

Our fire door inspectors conduct comprehensive, non-destructive fire door surveys and deliver detailed reports on the condition of the entire doorset. 

Regular inspections are essential for identifying damage, improper installation, or wear that may compromise fire resistance. Our certified inspectors meticulously examine gaps, seals, hinges, and door closers to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. Fire doors must adhere to British Standards (BS 9999) and Approved Document B to guarantee effective smoke and fire containment. Routine maintenance and testing are vital for compliance with fire safety laws and passive fire protection.

What is ‘Compliant’

Ensuring your fire doors are compliant isn’t just about ticking a box, it’s about protecting lives, property, and your legal standing.

  • Non-compliance can be costly. Even a minor breach of fire safety regulations can result in fines of up to £5,000.

  • Serious consequences are real. In the wake of the Grenfell tragedy, enforcement has become much stricter. Landlords have faced fines exceeding £50,000, and in some cases, suspended prison sentences for failing to meet fire safety standards.

At Sawco Fire, we make it easy to stay on the right side of the law and protect what matters most.
