Fire Door Inspection South London

The British standard for fire door inspection is BS 8214:2016, which explains how fire doors should be designed, installed, and maintained. It also covers how to inspect each part of the door, including hinges, seals, and gaps. At EICR CERT, we follow this standard in every inspection to ensure legal compliance and maximum safety.

Yes, fire doors must be checked regularly to make sure they work properly in case of a fire. In buildings with shared areas like flats, schools, hospitals, or offices, this is a legal duty under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. At EICR CERT, we help property owners meet these rules by providing professional and reliable inspections.

A standard fire door in the UK costs between £100 and £300, depending on the size, material, and fire rating. This price usually doesn’t include installation. For public or commercial buildings, you also need proper certification and maintenance. Investing in a certified fire door protects lives and avoids fines or insurance issues in case of a fire.

A 30-minute fire door rating (FD30) means the door can resist fire and smoke for at least 30 minutes. This gives people time to escape and allows firefighters to respond. FD30 doors are commonly used in homes, flats, and workplaces. Always check that the door has the right label and is installed properly for full protection.

To inspect a fire-rated door, check the door surface, hinges, seals, gaps, glass panels, and label. The door must close properly and not show signs of damage. Measurements must be accurate. It’s best to have a trained professional like EICR CERT do the inspection to ensure nothing is missed and you get a full, clear report.
