What Is A Fire Door Inspection?

Our certified inspectors carry out thorough, non-destructive fire door surveys, assessing the entire doorset for damage, poor installation, or wear that could compromise fire resistance. We check gaps, seals, hinges, and closers to ensure compliance with British Standards (BS 9999) and Approved Document B.  

Routine inspections are essential for legal compliance and effective passive fire protection.

What is ‘Compliant’

Fire door compliance is about protecting lives, property, and meeting legal obligations — not just ticking a box. Even minor breaches can lead to fines up to £5,000. Since Grenfell, enforcement has tightened, with landlords facing penalties over £50,000 and even suspended prison sentences for serious failures..

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