Fire doors are a crucial component of any building’s passive fire protection system. They help contain fires, prevent smoke spread and protect vital escape routes—but only if they’re properly maintained and functioning correctly. With legal requirements for regular inspections now firmly established, choosing the right fire safety specialists for your fire door inspections has never been more important.

Legal Requirements for Fire Door Inspections
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places specific responsibilities on business owners and designated ‘responsible persons’ regarding fire safety maintenance, including fire doors. These include:
- Ensuring all fire safety measures are subject to a regular maintenance programme
- Arranging professional inspections of fire doors
- Maintaining comprehensive records of all inspections
- Addressing any issues identified during inspections promptly
- Following British Standards for fire door installation and maintenance
Recent changes in legislation and guidance following the Grenfell Tower tragedy have further emphasised the importance of regular fire door inspection, with recommendations for inspection every six months in many commercial and multi-occupancy residential buildings.
