Inspecting the Door Leaf and the Door Frame
During the inspection, we closely examine the door leaf—the major part of the door—searching for damage, warping, or faults. We also examine the door frame to see if it is secure, intact, and properly aligned. We check gaps, test seals, and examine hinges to make sure the door will withstand the flames of fire. All that we discover is explained in clear, easy-to-understand terms so you know exactly what needs to be addressed.
Examination and Recommendations
Following a thorough examination, we present our results in an easy-to-read report, detailing any flaws, wear, or compliance issues.

Compliance with Fire Door Regulations
Regulations for fire doors play an integral role in the preservation of building and occupant safety. FRA London guarantees your property meets all statutory fire safety standards, including those under The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. The regulations place a greater onus on building managers and owners to guarantee standards for fire doors. Our experienced experts guide you through compliance with precision and focus, ensuring you are firmly on the right side of the law and protecting lives.
Regulation 10 – Fire Doors
Regulation 10 entails regular checks of fire doors for buildings that have communal areas. If your building is over 11 metres high, you need to inspect flat entrance doors every year and inspect communal fire doors every quarter. This maintains doors in good condition and will function as intended in a fire. FRA London conducts such inspections systematically and on a regular basis, and you’ll be able to complete your statutory obligations easily.
Why the Government Changed the Law
The new regulations followed the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy, which exposed glaring shortcomings in fire protection protocols. The government recognized the importance of stricter controls to promote building safety as a necessity. Fire doors are coming under greater scrutiny because they can prevent flames and smoke from spreading. The law reforms are part of a broader drive to protect residents and ensure buildings are maintained to high standards of safety at all times.
Understanding the Regulations
These fire door regulations cover landlords, managing agents, building owners, and anyone else who is in charge of fire safety in residential buildings. You have a legal duty to conduct inspections, repair defects, and hold clear records of compliance. FRA London helps you understand your needs and assist you in providing the help you require to meet them. We make it easy, and you can rest assured that your building remains safe, legal, and completely compliant.
Fire Compartmentation Surveys
Compartmentation surveys of fire are a key part of any fire risk strategy. The service involves assessing whether a building is divided into fire-resistant compartments to prevent the spread of smoke and fire. With FRA London, our inspections establish vulnerabilities in walls, floors, and ceilings that can compromise safety. We inspect fire-stopping, cavity barriers, and penetration seals to verify that each compartment is safe. The surveys aid total compliance and safeguard occupants, assets, and means of escape.
What is Fire Compartmentation?
Fire compartmentation is dividing a building into separate fire-resistant areas. This keeps fire and smoke contained in one area, giving individuals more time to escape and reducing damage. Walls, floors, doors, and ceilings all play a part in creating these shielded areas. If any of them get opened or are broken, fires spread rapidly. Compartmentalization is the cornerstone of maintaining the integrity of your building in a time of emergency.
Ensuring Fire Safety and Compliance
Compartmentation surveys will help you ascertain hidden risks and confirm your building’s compliance with regulatory fire safety standards. Openings, damaged fire stopping, and unsealed gaps may all be identified during the inspection. We provide a full report along with clear-cut recommendations to allow you to take prompt action and institute remedial work. This keeps property owners and managers in compliance, avoids penalties, and creates a safer environment for everyone in the building.
Sectors Covered
FRA London conducts fire compartmentation surveys for various sectors. We work with residential property managers, commercial landlords, schools, hospitals, and manufacturing units. Each environment has a special fire risk profile, and we tailor inspections to suit each case. Whether it is a block of student accommodation or an office warehouse with high traffic, we help ensure every building is adequately equipped with a fire-resistant building to prevent loss of life and adhere to regulations.

Fire Stopping and Passive Fire Protection

We seal gaps, penetrations, and voids in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between compartments. Our trained personnel, using proven fire-resistant materials, ensure every fire barrier meets regulatory standards.

Intumescent Seal Installation
Intumescent seals are a vital part of fire doors that expand when they are subjected to heat, filling the space around the door so that fire and smoke do not penetrate. Correct fitting of these seals is paramount if the door is to be effective in the way it is designed to be in a fire. Our intumescent seal engineers carefully fit and test intumescent seals to ensure they are a satisfactory seal, adding to the overall fire rating of your doors and the safety of the occupants.
