Fire Door Safety Checks in Yorkshire
Professional, Accredited Fire Door Safety Checks Near You
Ensure your existing fire doors are safe, compliant and performing as they should with scheduled fire door safety inspections.
Fire doors are a key part of passive fire protection, helping to slow the spread of fire and smoke and giving occupants crucial time to escape in an emergency.
Whether you manage residential blocks, commercial premises or public buildings, regular safety checks are essential for compliance with UK fire safety legislation and for peace of mind.
Did you know 75% of fire doors are not compliant?
Why Fire Door Safety Checks Matter
Fire doors can deteriorate over time through everyday use, accidental damage or inadequate maintenance. Even minor issues with hinges, seals, closers or gaps around the frame can seriously reduce effectiveness in the event of a fire. Regular, scheduled checks ensure that you:
Maintain fire safety performance
Keep doors compliant with UK standards and regulations
Protect occupants, visitors and your property
Provide documented evidence of maintenance for insurers and regulators
Our Inspection Process
Our experienced surveyors carry out thorough safety checks tailored to your building and fire safety needs. Each inspection covers key components that affect a fire door’s performance.
Door leaf and frame condition
Hinges, locks and ironmongery
Self-closing devices and operation
Intumescent strips and smoke seals
Gaps between door and frame
Door signage and visibility
After the inspection, we’ll provide you with a detailed report outlining any issues and suggested remedial work where needed, helping you prioritise actions and maintain compliance.
Inspection Frequencies and Compliance
UK fire safety guidance and legislation recommend regular inspections of fire doors as part of your fire safety management plan.
The frequency depends on the building type and use. For example:
- High-rise residential buildings: quarterly checks for fire doors in common areas and annual checks for flat entrance doors
- Commercial and public buildings: routine inspections, often every 6 to 12 months, based on your fire risk assessment
We can help you establish a schedule of ongoing checks that suits your premises and supports legal compliance.
Reporting & Remedial Actions
Following each safety check, you’ll receive a clear, professional report detailing:
- Inspection date, location and inspector details
- Condition and performance of each door
- Photographic evidence of any defects
- Recommended repairs or adjustments
Where faults are identified, Othick Property Services can advise on and undertake the necessary remedial work to restore your doors to a compliant and reliable condition.
