What Are Fire Door Inspections?

A fire door inspection is a thorough examination to ensure fire doors are in good working condition and conform to safety standards. Fire door testing is necessary since fire doors prevent fire and smoke from spreading, providing individuals with additional time to safely evacuate. During the test, specialist experts examine every aspect of the door to determine whether the door is in working condition and functioning as required. At FRA London, we conduct comprehensive tests to enable building owners to remain safe, be compliant, and rectify any issues before they become major issues.

The Inspection Includes:

When we examine a fire door, we examine the entire significant components of the door. This is comprised of testing the door leaf to determine whether or not it is damaged, inspecting for seals, and ensuring hinges are securely fixed and functioning. We also test the door closer to ensure the door closes properly. Signage and brackets are inspected to ensure they prominently indicate the door is a fire door. At FRA London, we scrupulously inspect every aspect without rushing to ensure your building is safe.

6-Month Fire Door Inspection Requirements

It’s recommended that fire doors in most buildings, particularly in high-risk or communal buildings, be inspected every six months. More frequent inspections might be necessary for specific busy or crowded areas. These routine inspections identify problems at an early stage and minimize the risk of failure in the case of a fire. Here at FRA London, we assist property owners in keeping these annual checks up to date so that they are safe by standards and free from any kind of safety and legal issues.

What does a fire door inspection involve?

A fire door test examines the door’s most critical components to ensure that it will effectively retain fire and smoke. Inspectors examine the door leaf, seals, hinges, closers, and labels to ensure they function properly. This is crucial as an operational fire door protects individuals from harm by inhibiting fire spread and providing time to escape safely.

Who is responsible for fire door inspections?

The landlord or building owner is typically responsible for inspecting fire doors. In others, this is delegated to a specific individual, such as a facility manager or a building manager. They should ensure that these inspections are carried out regularly in order to maintain the building in a safe condition and also to meet fire safety requirements.

How often should fire doors be inspected?

Fire doors must be checked every six months, particularly in high-rise buildings where many employees work or people live. This is a typical procedure for protection and a requirement in most locations. The time may vary in certain regions based on use or risk factors, but six months is a common minimum to ensure doors are safe and compliant.

If your fire doors fail inspection, there is no need to panic. FRA London can promptly repair issues or replace doors as needed. Our professionals work with a quick turnaround to bring your fire doors up to safety standards once more, safeguarding your building and its occupants in a timely manner.

How much does a fire door inspection cost?

A fire door inspection typically depends on the number of doors to be inspected and the location of the building. The prices are normally between £30 and £60 per door.
