Qualified Fire Door Inspector FAQs

A: Our inspectors carry identification cards showing their current qualifications and certifications, which you’re welcome to verify before inspections commence.
Q: Are qualified inspections more expensive than basic checks?
A: While qualified inspections may have a slightly higher initial cost, they provide significantly greater value through comprehensive assessment, legally defensible documentation, and appropriate remedial recommendations that prevent costly issues later.
Q: How often should qualified inspections be conducted?
A: Current guidance recommends six-monthly qualified inspections for doors in high-traffic areas and annual qualified inspections for doors in normal-use environments, with immediate inspection following any incident or damage.
Devon’s Unique Qualified Fire Door Inspection Challenges
Devon’s distinctive environment presents specific challenges requiring qualified assessment:
- Historic buildings throughout the county feature period doors requiring specialist qualified assessment approaches
- Coastal properties from Ilfracombe to Exmouth experience accelerated deterioration from salt air, requiring expert evaluation
- Rural properties across Dartmoor and Exmoor benefit from qualified assessment of passive fire protection given longer emergency service response times
- Tourism and hospitality venues across the English Riviera need qualified inspections that accommodate seasonal business patterns
Our qualified inspectors understand these regional factors and provide appropriate recommendations based on your property’s specific location and characteristics throughout Devon’s varied landscape, from the rugged north coast to the gentler southern shores, from Dartmoor’s exposed uplands to the sheltered valleys of the South Hams.
