Overview of Fire Door Regulations & Legal Requirements
Fire-rated front doors are an essential fire safety measure for residential or commercial buildings. We offer the installation of high-quality and tested fire-rated front doors to secure your property against fire hazards.
Are Fire Door Surveys a Legal Requirement?
Yes, fire door surveys are legally required. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that all fire doors must be safe and maintained. Building owners and managers are responsible for fire safety. If fire doors do not work properly, fines or legal action may follow. A fire door survey finds any problems and helps you stay compliant.
How Often Should a Fire Door Survey Be Conducted?
Regular fire door surveys are important to ensure safety. While there is not any particular time window as per the law, if you want to stay safe and compliant, it is best to get the fire door survey done once every 6 to 12 months. If the doors are of high-use, you may need even more frequent checks.
Internal Fire Doors
Only qualified experts can conduct fire door surveys properly. They must have an understanding of fire safety laws to get the job done. Before you hire someone, make sure the professional is qualified. FIRAS, BM TRADA, and IFSM are some of the qualifications you should look for. Our engineers at EICR CERT are qualified and trained.

What Is a Fire Door Survey?
A fire door survey is a detailed check of fire doors to ensure they work properly. It helps find faults that could put lives at risk. Fire doors must be in good condition to slow down fire and smoke. A proper fire door survey will make your fire doors legal and safe.
How Do Fire Doors Prevent a Fire from Spreading?
Fire doors halt fire and smoke from traveling through a building. They consist of special materials that resist heat. Firm seals around the edges expand when there is high heat to seal off smoke. Fire doors provide individuals with additional time to evacuate and assist firefighters in fighting the fire. An operational fire door can save lives as well as limit damage.
How Can Fire Doors Fail?
Fire doors can fail for many reasons. Common issues include:
- Large gaps allow fire and smoke to pass through.
- Damaged or missing seals won’t expand during a fire.
- Faulty hinges or closers stop doors from closing fully.
- Poor installation makes the door ineffective.
- Wear and tear can compromise safety over time.
Fire Door Testing & Compliance
Fire door testing is essential for safety and legal compliance. A faulty fire door can fail in an emergency. Testing checks if the door, seals, and hinges work properly. It ensures that fire doors meet UK fire safety regulations. Regular testing helps prevent fines and keeps people safe.
Managing Planned Preventative Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important to keep the fire door working and avoid any potential failure. Even minor problems like loose hinges or seal wear that you usually ignore can cause major hazards. A planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedule identifies problems early and saves you from expensive repairs.

Fire Door Case Studies
Our expert fire door survey services have helped many business and property owners throughout London.
Office Building in London
One of our clients had an office building in London where we surveyed more than 50 fire doors in a commercial office. In our survey, we detected several issues, like faulty seals and large gaps. First, we presented the report to the client and then made the necessary repairs and replacements.
Residential Block Inspection
Another successful experience we have is that of a property management company that hired us to check fire doors in a 100-unit apartment complex. It was a huge task, considering the complexity of the block. We identified several issues and reported them with our suggestions. Later, we implemented those recommendations to keep the residential block safe in emergency situations.
