Residential Premises Fire Door Inspections​​​
​​We will conduct an independent, standard inspection of flat entrance fire doors to ensure compliance with current fire safety regulations.
This service assists the Responsible Person to remain compliant with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 under the Fire Safety Act 2021.
Inspections are completed by experienced fire door inspectors reviewing:
-
Door leaf condition
-
Self-closing devices
-
Hinges & fixings
-
Intumescent & smoke seals
-
Gaps & alignment
-
Glazing & ironmongery
-
Certification & signage​
​
Inspections are swift, thorough, non-intrusive and review all the required elements of fire doors, where access is granted by residents. The Responsible Person must make their best endeavours for the assessor to gain access to flat front doors by communicating in advance with the residents.
​The Responsible Person, Building Manager or Landlord will receive:
-
A digital report on the condition of fire doors.​
-
Any defects will be recorded
-
Photographic evidence
-
Clear pass/fail information
​
Who is a Responsible Person?
The Responsible Person is the person legally in charge of fire safety in a building.
It is the person who owns, manages or controls the premises.
This is usually:
-
The employer (for workplaces)
-
The landlord or freeholder
-
A managing agent
-
A management company
In blocks of flats, the Responsible Person is normally the person or company responsible for the communal areas.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must make sure the building is safe from fire risks and that proper fire safety measures are in place and maintained.
If they fail to do so, they can face enforcement action, fines, or prosecution.
