Fire door inspection across England

One service, done properly. We measure, photograph and write up every door, wherever the building is.

Do you know when someone last looked at the fire doors in your building?

For a lot of buildings the honest answer is "not sure". The doors were fitted, a risk assessment mentioned them, and after that nobody went round with a gauge.

That is the job we do. Fire door inspection, and nothing else on this site.

Who it is for

You are probably the person named as responsible for a building. A landlord, a managing agent, a school business manager, a care home owner, a facilities manager.

You have a number of doors. You want to know which ones would hold back smoke and which would not.

We send an inspector, check every door in the building and send you a written report. You can pass it to your fire risk assessor, your insurer or your own contractor.

Where we are

We are in Luton. We do not have offices anywhere else and we are not going to say we do.

We still inspect across England. Pick your region further down. Each page says what the journey from Luton means for you, and what we can and cannot do there.

One thing to know now. Our own crew repairs doors in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Greater London. Outside that area we inspect and report, and the repairs are for you to place with a carpenter of your choice.

What happens on the day

The inspector goes door by door. Each one gets measured, looked over, tested on its closer and photographed.

A small building takes a morning. A tower block takes days.

Doors that are dangerous that day are reported to you that day. Everything else goes in the written report.

Work we have done

In Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley we inspected 16 doors across homecare properties. In Luton we repaired 140 of 147 doors at two secondary schools and an almshouse. At a hotel in Reading we surveyed 129 doors.

A rough idea of cost

It depends on the door count, how easy the doors are to reach, and how far we have to come. A small building starts from around £250 plus VAT. Send us the details and you get a proper figure.

Questions we get asked

Is a door inspection the same as a fire risk assessment?

No. A fire risk assessment looks at the whole building. A door inspection looks at each door in detail. They are two separate jobs and one does not cover the other.

Do you inspect Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

Not at the moment. This site is about England, where the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 apply.

Will you tell me to replace everything?

No. Most doors can be repaired and we say so in the report.
