A faulty fire door can fail when your building needs it most.

Minor damage can have serious consequences on a fire door. A single defect can compromise the performance of an entire fire door set. 

Damaged seals, excessive gaps, unsuitable ironmongery or a poorly aligned frame can allow fire and smoke to spread through the building. 

You do not want to discover these problems during an audit or emergency. That is why our fire door survey service: 

Failing to resolve these defects puts your occupants at risk and leaves the Responsible Person on your premises without reliable evidence that the building’s fire doors are being maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We can discuss your building, existing fire safety records and any concerns raised during a fire risk assessment before recommending the appropriate survey scope.

Fire door defects are not always obvious during day-to-day building checks. A professional survey will provide a door-by-door assessment, so you won’t have to rely on assumptions about the building’s condition.

You will receive a clear, prioritised list of the defects that need to be addressed.

The report separates urgent safety concerns from routine maintenance issues and explains whether each door requires adjustment, repair, further investigation or replacement. This helps you plan remedial work without treating every defect as the same level of risk.

Yes. We can inspect and document the current visible condition of the fire doors even if previous installation, maintenance or inspection records are incomplete.

Yes. We’ll provide a quotation based on the number of doors, the building type and the reporting requirements agreed with you.

Providing an accurate door count and information about the property will help us prepare the clearest possible quotation.

A fire door survey includes an inspection of the complete fire door set and a report detailing its condition. Each survey can examines in detail: 

  • The door leaf and frame. 
  •  Intumescent strips and smoke seals.
  •  Hinges, locks, latches and door closers. 
  • Fire-resistant glazing, vision panels and beading. 
  • Gaps, thresholds and clearances. 
  • Fire door signage and identification. 
  • Visible damage, alterations and unsuitable components. 

The report provides photographic evidence and recommendations for remedial action.

The building’s Responsible Person is responsible for ensuring fire doors are appropriately inspected and maintained.

This may be the employer, building owner, landlord, facilities manager, managing agent or another person with control over the premises. Identified defects should be recorded and addressed rather than left until the next scheduled inspection.

This depends on the building, occupancy, how often the doors are used, and the fire risk.

Busy environments such as schools, hospitals, offices and residential blocks may require checks every six months. Annual inspections may be appropriate for some smaller or lower-risk premises, while frequently used or vulnerable doors may require more regular checks. 

If you’re unsure, get in touch with us today.

What Is a Fire Door Survey?

A fire door survey is a professional inspection carried out by trained specialists to check that every fire door in your building is functioning correctly and meets current fire safety regulations. The survey highlights any faults, areas of non-compliance, or potential hazards so that corrective action can be taken quickly.

Fire doors are designed to hold back flames and smoke for a minimum of 30 minutes. Without regular surveys, even minor defects could compromise this essential protection.

What Our Survey Covers

Fire

When carrying out a fire door inspection, our surveyors examine all key components that contribute to fire resistance. This includes:

  • The condition and certification of the door leaf
  • Frame alignment and fixings
  • Intumescent and smoke seals
  • Hinges, locks, closers and other hardware
  • Glazing, vision panels and beading
  • Thresholds, gaps and clearances
  • Fire safety signage

Every part of the door is recorded in a detailed report, complete with photographs and practical recommendations.

On a Fire Door, Which Elements Need to Offer 30 Minutes of Fire Protection?

For a fire door to perform as intended, several elements must combine to provide at least 30 minutes of resistance. These include:

  • Door leaf – must be fire-rated and correctly installed.
  • Door frame – tested to work with the leaf as a complete set.
  • Seals – intumescent and smoke seals expand under heat, closing gaps.
  • Glazing – any glass must be fire-resistant and securely fitted.
  • Ironmongery – hinges, latches, and closers must all be fire-rated.

If one element fails, the entire door set may no longer provide the required protection.

Fire Door Inspection Cost

Many people ask, “What does a fire door inspection cost?” The answer depends on:

  • The number of doors in your property
  • The type and use of the building
  • The level of detail needed in the survey report

At Fire Immunity, we pride ourselves on offering clear and competitive pricing. Our inspection service provides outstanding value by giving you:

  • A full compliance report with photographs
  • A pass/fail grading for each door
  • Practical advice for repairs or replacements
  • A clear breakdown of any associated costs

How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected?

Fire doors are subject to wear and tear, especially in busy environments. For this reason, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order recommends regular checks. Best practice is:

  • Every 6 months in high-traffic buildings such as schools, offices, hospitals and flats
  • Annually, in smaller or lower-risk properties

In many cases, more frequent checks are advisable, especially for flat entrance doors or doors that form part of key fire compartmentation zones.
