Fire Door Inspection, Servicing & Remedial Works UKFIRAS-Accredited Engineers • BS 8214 Compliant • All Remedial Works In-House

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure fire doors are maintained in an efficient state. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2023 goes further: in multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 metres, the Responsible Person must carry out quarterly checks of all fire doors in communal areas and annual checks of fire doors at the boundary of each residential unit. A documented fire door inspection by a competent person is the recognised way to demonstrate compliance.

FIRAS is a third-party certification scheme operated by Warringtonfire that audits and accredits installers of fire-rated products, including fire doors, fire-resistant glazing, and intumescent seals. Using a FIRAS-accredited contractor gives you documented evidence that remedial works have been carried out by trained, audited installers — which insurers, fire officers, and enforcing authorities all recognise as proof of competence.

Best practice and BS 8214 recommend a full fire door inspection at least every six months for high-traffic buildings, and annually for lower-risk premises. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2023 requires quarterly checks of communal fire doors in multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 metres. We can set up a planned inspection and maintenance schedule to suit your building and keep you compliant automatically.

In the vast majority of cases, fire doors can be brought back to a compliant standard through remedial works rather than full replacement. Our FIRAS-accredited technicians replace seals, hinges, closers, glazing, and ironmongery and adjust gaps — typically at a fraction of the cost of a new door. We only recommend replacement where the door leaf or frame is structurally damaged beyond economic repair.

We carry out every type of fire door remedial work in-house: intumescent and smoke seal replacement, hinge and closer replacement, fire-rated glazing and bead replacement, gap and threshold sealing, lock and latch replacement, letterbox and grille intumescent protection, and frame and leaf repairs. All works are carried out by FIRAS-accredited technicians and fully documented.

Inspection pricing starts from £15 per door, with volume discounts for larger portfolios. Remedial works are quoted per door based on the defects identified. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free site survey so you know the full cost before any work begins. Contact us for a no-obligation quote.
