Fire Doors Save Lives. In any multi-occupied or commercial building, fire doors form a critical part of the passive fire protection strategy, slowing the movement of fire and smoke and protecting escape routes. For organisations across Derby, Nottingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham, and Coventry, ensuring that every fire door is correctly installed, maintained, and compliant is not optional; it is a legal duty.
A compliant, fully documented fire door survey provides evidence that your doorsets meet the functional requirements set out under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our fire door surveyors conduct detailed examinations that identify deficiencies, verify operational performance, and confirm whether each fire door is capable of performing as intended during a fire emergency.









Fire doors segment a building into controlled zones, allowing occupants time to evacuate and preventing fire growth. In busy commercial settings, older housing stock, high-rise buildings, and public sector premises across the Midlands, these protections are only effective when fire doors are routinely assessed and maintained.
A professional fire door assessment examines every key component, ensuring the doorset provides the resistance necessary to inhibit fire movement. This includes the door leaf, frame, intumescent seals, smoke seals, glazing, hinges, signage, closers, gaps, threshold conditions, and general integrity. Any single point of failure undermines the door’s performance and compromises the entire fire strategy.
A fire door survey involves a structured, methodical review of all fire-resisting doors within a building. Each survey identifies compliance gaps, operational issues, or installation failures. Our surveyors deliver precise, unbiased fire door advice, ensuring responsible persons understand the immediate actions required to stay within legal boundaries.
Under the Fire Safety Order, fire doors must be maintained “in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.” This applies to every non-domestic building and the communal areas of residential properties. For duty-holders across Derby, Nottingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham, and Coventry, a survey is the only reliable method of confirming that these requirements are being met.
