Fire Door Inspections.

Fire doors are one of the most critical components of fire protection in larger buildings. Designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, they play a vital role in safeguarding lives and property. However, fire doors can only perform effectively if they meet compliance standards. Westcountry Fire Protection provides comprehensive Fire Door Inspection services to ensure your building’s fire doors are fully compliant and ready to protect in an emergency.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, every business and establishment is legally required to install and maintain fire doors as part of their fire safety measures. Regular inspections are essential to ensure these doors meet strict regulations and function properly in the event of a fire, protecting occupants and minimising damage. 

Properly maintained fire doors are an integral part of a building’s passive fire protection system, helping to compartmentalise fire and smoke while allowing occupants time to evacuate safely. Fire risk assessments, which we also offer, can determine where fire doors should be installed to separate escape routes from potential hazards, giving your building the best chance of a safe and effective emergency evacuation.

How We Perform Fire Door Inspections.

A fire door inspection involves a detailed assessment of several key factors to ensure compliance and safety. These steps include checking the door’s certification, frame, and seals, verifying the condition and fit of hinges, and testing the functionality of door closers and latches. Inspectors also examine any glazing, signage, and gaps around the door, ensuring they meet regulatory standards. By following these 10 essential steps, Westcountry Fire Protection ensures that your fire doors are fully compliant and ready to perform their life-saving role in the event of a fire.

Know The Law.

By law, fire doors must be installed and maintained to strict standards, with severe penalties for non-compliance. At Westcountry Fire Protection, we understand the serious responsibility of safeguarding lives, which is why we offer thorough fire door inspection services to ensure your premises meet all legal requirements. 

To remain effective, fire doors must either be kept closed at all times or equipped with certified fire door retainers that automatically close when a fire alarm is activated. Using uncertified or improper methods to hold fire doors open is not only unsafe but also illegal. Our experts can guide you in selecting, maintaining, and installing compliant fire doors and their accompanying devices to protect your building and its occupants. 

In addition to fire door inspections, we can conduct comprehensive fire risk assessments to help identify where fire doors are needed and ensure your overall fire safety strategy is up to code. With our support, you can rest assured your building is fully prepared in the event of an emergency.
