Fire Door Inspections in Surrey

Managing buildings across Surrey? We cover fire door inspections in Woking, Guildford, Esher and the rest of the county with one point of contact.

Fire Door Inspections: A fire door inspection is a documented, door-by-door check that each fire door in a building will still hold back fire and smoke for its rated period. The inspector examines the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing, ironmongery and signage, records what passes and what fails, and photographs every defect.

How does it work in Surrey?

  1. Scope

    Tell us the building type, roughly how many fire doors there are and when we can get access. We confirm a fixed fee before booking.

  2. Inspect

    The inspector works through the building door by door, measuring gaps, testing closers and photographing every defect.

  3. Report

    You receive a report with a reference, location, photos and a pass, advisory or fail result for every door, usually within five working days.

  4. Put it right

    Every failed item is priced individually so you can approve all, some or none of the remedial work.

Fire Door Inspections by town in Surrey

Fire Door Inspections in Surrey: questions

Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?

It records the evidence available: labels, plugs, glazing marks, hardware markings and construction. Where there is no evidence of a fire rating, the report says so, so the fire risk assessor can decide what to do.

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.

Which fire safety law applies in Surrey?

Surrey is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
