The Importance of Using Qualified Fire Door Inspectors for Your Kent Premises
Fire doors are essential life-saving devices that form a critical part of your building’s passive fire protection system. However, they only provide their intended protection when properly installed, maintained and regularly inspected by competent, qualified professionals. With increasingly stringent fire safety regulations, ensuring your fire doors are inspected by certified fire safety specialists is both a legal requirement and a moral responsibility.

The Comprehensive Inspection Process by Our Qualified Inspectors
When you choose Fireline UK’s qualified fire door inspectors, your doors undergo a rigorous assessment process:
- Visual Examination – Detailed inspection of the door, frame and all components
- Performance Testing – Verification that the door closes properly from all angles
- Precision Measurements – Checking gaps around the door to ensure they meet regulatory standards

Why Fire Door Qualification Matters
Unlike general maintenance staff or unqualified inspectors, our qualified fire door specialists have:

- Knowledge of current and evolving fire door regulations
- Understanding of different door ratings and their applications
- Ability to identify subtle defects that could compromise performance
- Expertise to recommend appropriate remedial actions
- Authority to provide legally valid certification
Legal Requirements for Qualified Fire Door Inspections
Current fire safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, places clear obligations on building owners and ‘responsible persons’ regarding fire safety compliance:
- Fire doors must be subject to regular inspection and maintenance
- Inspections must be carried out by “competent persons” with appropriate qualifications
- Records of all inspections must be maintained and available for enforcement authorities
- Any identified defects must be addressed promptly
- Frequency of inspection varies by building type, but typically ranges from 3-6 months
Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy and subsequent regulatory changes, the importance of using qualified inspectors has been further emphasised, with potential personal liability for those who fail to meet their obligations.
