Inspection Evidence

Common Fire Door Defects We Record

Defective fire doors can compromise compartmentation and escape protection. Each defect is documented with photographic evidence where recorded during inspection.

Illustrative evidence images below show typical defect types recorded during inspections. These are representative examples — not photographs from a specific completed project.

Want to understand how these issues are recorded during inspection? Browse the fire door inspection defects hub, try the fire door defect identifier, or view a sample fire door inspection report.

Early identification supports proportionate remedial action and stronger fire safety management. Inspection reports highlight priority defects without overstating risk.

FAQ

Fire Door Inspection Questions

Clear answers to common questions from landlords, managing agents and institutional property teams in London.

How often should fire doors be inspected?
Frequency depends on building type, occupancy, risk profile and your fire safety management arrangements. Many responsible persons adopt regular inspection cycles alongside broader fire risk management. We can advise on a proportionate schedule once we understand your premises. See our fire door inspection frequency guidance.

Inspections typically cover door leaf and frame condition, gaps, seals, closers, ironmongery, glazing, signage, fire stopping and evidence photography. Each door is assessed and recorded with clear defect notes and practical recommendations.
Do landlords need fire door inspections?
Landlords and responsible persons have duties to manage fire safety in their premises. Fire doors form a critical part of compartmentation and escape protection. Regular inspection helps identify defects before they compromise performance. Read our guide to fire door inspections for landlords.

Yes. We inspect communal fire doors, flat entrance doors where included in scope, and other fire door sets across residential blocks and estates in London.
Do you provide photo evidence?
Where recorded during inspection, reports can include photographs linked to door references and defects so findings are clear for responsible persons, contractors and internal records.
Can you inspect commercial buildings?
Yes. We inspect offices, mixed-use buildings, healthcare settings, education premises and other commercial or institutional properties across London.
How much does a fire door inspection cost?
Cost depends on the number of doors, building access, location and reporting requirements. We provide scope-based quotes once property details are confirmed. See fire door inspection cost guidance.
