Closing
The door closes fully into its frame from any angle, without sticking.
Routine Fire Door Inspections
Regular checks, properly recorded
In residential buildings over 11 metres tall, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require the Responsible Person to check communal fire doors at least every three months, and to use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors at least once a year.
We carry out those checks on a schedule that suits you and keep a dated record of every door, so you have clear evidence that the duty is being met. Any defects are reported to you promptly, so they can be put right.
We carry out routine fire door inspections in Nottingham, Mansfield and across the East Midlands, and can work to your schedule for buildings elsewhere in the country.

How it works
More about our process From first call to written report
01
Tell us about the property
Share the location, building use and any existing concerns or reports. We agree what needs to be assessed before arranging a visit.
02
Visit and inspect
The visit looks at the premises and relevant fire safety measures. Access and any records needed are agreed with you in advance.
03
Put the findings in writing
The report records what was found, explains the concerns and sets out recommended actions in priority order.
04
Talk through the next steps
Discuss the findings and what they mean for your property, so you know which actions to take forward.
Does my building need routine door checks?
The legal requirement applies to residential buildings over 11 metres with two or more sets of domestic premises. In lower buildings, your fire risk assessment may still recommend regular checks.
What if residents will not give access to their flat?
The duty for flat entrance doors is to use best endeavours. We record each attempt to gain access, so you have evidence of what was done.
How is this different from a fire door survey?
Routine inspections confirm the doors are still working. A survey is a more detailed look at each door, usually with repair or replacement recommendations.
