Qualified Fire Door Inspector Barnstaple – Expert Services by Fireline UK
Professional Fire Door Inspections from Certified Specialists
At Fireline UK, we provide comprehensive fire door inspection services throughout Barnstaple and North Devon. Our team of qualified inspectors delivers thorough assessments, detailed documentation, and practical recommendations to ensure your property remains compliant with current regulations while maximising protection for occupants and assets.
The Importance of Using Qualified Fire Door Inspectors
Fire doors are complex, life-saving systems—not just ordinary doors. Their proper functioning depends on multiple components working together correctly. Only a certified fire door inspector has the training and expertise to properly assess:
- Door leaf integrity and construction
- Frame condition and secure fitting
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self-closing mechanisms and latching
- Hinges, handles and hardware functionality
- Glazing elements and fire ratings
- Gap measurements and tolerances
- Certification and appropriate signage
Using unqualified personnel for these critical safety checks puts lives at risk and may invalidate insurance policies or result in regulatory non-compliance.
Our Inspector Qualifications and Certifications
Our Barnstaple-based fire door inspectors hold recognised industry qualifications including:
- FDIS (Fire Door Inspection Scheme) certification
- BM TRADA Q-Mark certification
- Extensive manufacturer training
- Regular continuing professional development
- Comprehensive knowledge of current regulations and standards
These professional fire safety qualifications ensure our inspectors can identify issues that untrained eyes would miss, providing you with complete confidence in your fire safety compliance.

Current Regulatory Requirements for Fire Door Inspections
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 qualified fire door assessment service helps Barnstaple property owners meet these legal obligations while ensuring optimal fire safety protection.
