🚪 Fire Door Inspections & Services – Stay Compliant & Protected

Fire doors are one of the most critical components of your building's passive fire protection system, playing a vital role in saving lives, containing fire spread, and protecting property. Despite their importance, fire doors are often overlooked, putting occupants at serious risk.

At Kings Fire, we provide comprehensive fire door inspections, repairs, and replacements to help ensure your premises remain compliant with UK fire safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO).

🔍 Why Regular Fire Door Inspections Are Essential

Under the RRO, it's a legal requirement to ensure that fire doors are properly maintained and routinely inspected. Our certified fire door inspectors conduct detailed surveys to assess the condition of every fire door, helping you meet your statutory obligations and avoid fire safety breaches.

Inspection frequency guidelines:

Every 6 months for general areas
Every 3 months for high-traffic or high-usage zones

📋 What's Included in a Fire Door Inspection?

Our in-depth fire door inspection reports cover all aspects of door condition and compliance. Each door is individually assessed and documented, and any deficiencies or hazards are clearly identified.

We inspect:

Fire door frames and leaves
Intumescent strips & smoke seals
Door closers and hinges
Fire-rated glazing
Fire door signage
Gaps and clearances
Final fire exit doors (push bars/pads, ease of opening)

You'll receive a comprehensive digital report, fully aligned with British Standards and fire safety regulations.
