At Fireline UK, we provide comprehensive fire door inspection services that ensure your Barnstaple property meets all current regulatory requirements. Our qualified inspectors deliver thorough annual assessments, detailed documentation, and practical recommendations to maintain compliance and enhance life safety.
Why Annual Fire Door Inspections Are Now Essential
The Fire Safety Act 2021 and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have established clear requirements for regular fire door inspections:
- Flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings must be inspected annually
- Communal fire doors in buildings over 11 metres must be checked quarterly
- All inspections must be documented with records maintained
- The Responsible Person must ensure these checks are completed by competent persons
Our annual fire door assessment service helps Barnstaple property owners meet these legal obligations while ensuring optimal fire safety protection.
