Fire door Inspection

Keeping your fire door sets safe and compliant

As a UK employer, you have a legal responsibility to ensure your fire doors sets are compliant and your building is protected through periodic fire door inspection. Failure to do so not only leaves your property and business at risk, but could end up posing a significant threat to life.

We’re here to ensure that never happens. Certified by the BM Trada Q-Mark Scheme for fire door maintenance, CFP’s fire door inspection service keeps your fire door sets safe, effective and fully compliant with UK law.

Do you need a fire door inspection?

Your fire door sets play a life-saving role in your commercial building’s fire safety strategy. Yet according to a recent survey by the Fire Door Inspection Scheme, 75% of all fire door sets fail to meet the UK standard.

Day-to-day wear and tear, along with poor repairs and adjustments, can leave your fire door sets non-compliant – often without your knowledge. Periodic inspections by qualified professionals should be carried out at least every six months, with more regular checks for frequently used doors sets.

Our comprehensive fire door inspection and maintenance service identifies and rectifies common faults, including:

  • Missing or damaged intumescent strips or cold smoke seals – without which flames, smoke and toxic fumes can easily spread
  • Damage or altered vision panels – we’ll ensure your doors are fitted with the correct fire-resistant glazing
  • Ineffective door closers – which could compromise your doors in the event of a fire
  • Ill-fitting doors in frames – we’ll ensure gaps around your doors meet BS standards
  • Hinge wear and tear – worn or defective hinges could render intumescent strips and smoke seals ineffective, allowing flames, smoke and toxic fumes to break through

Fire door inspection, repair and maintenance

Once we’ve completed your fire door inspection, our experts can help repair any damage, replace defective components and bring you back to compliance as  seamlessly as possible.

Replacing your fire door sets can be costly. But through regular maintenance, we’ll keep your fire door sets working effectively, for longer. All the while ensuring your business is compliant, your property is protected and your people are safe.
