What Does a Fire Door Inspection Cover?

Every inspection follows Approved Document B and BS 8214 guidance.
Who Needs a Fire Door Inspection?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons must ensure fire doors are regularly inspected. This applies to landlords, property managers, facilities managers, building owners, schools, care homes, hospitals, hotels, offices, and all multi-occupancy residential buildings.
How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected?
Communal fire doors in residential buildings over 11 metres should be inspected quarterly, while flat entrance doors in buildings over 11 metres require annual inspection. For commercial properties, fire door inspections should form part of your ongoing fire safety management plan, with frequency determined by your fire risk assessment.
