Inspections.
Fire door inspections are Essential for ensuring fire doors function properly in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, as required by UK building regulations.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and British Standards, regular inspections check components like seals, hinges, and closing mechanisms must be inspected and maintained to ensure compliance.
These inspections help identify damage or faults that could compromise safety, particularly in high-risk buildings.
By maintaining fire doors, inspections protect lives and property by ensuring safe escape routes and effective fire containment.

Why is it important to maintain fire doors?
A properly maintained fire door helps to contain flames, smoke, and toxic gases, protecting escape routes and giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.
Over time, wear and tear, damage, or poor repairs can compromise a fire door’s integrity, rendering it ineffective when it's needed most.
Regular maintenance ensures that critical components, such as closers, seals, hinges, and gaps are in good working order and compliant with fire safety regulations. Without routine checks and repairs, even certified fire doors can fail, putting lives and property at serious risk.
