Fire doors are an essential part of a building’s fire protection, ensuring that the building is compartmentalised. Correct maintenance and regular inspections in any commercial building is necessary in reducing the risk of loss to life and property. An inspection will look at all elements of the doorset which, if not maintained, can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the system and its ability to stop the spread of fire.

Who can inspect fire doors?

As laid out in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) 2005, a competent person should carry out an inspection on your fire doors. Fire door inspectors should be approved and qualified to carry out the assessment of your doorsets competently. DRG Fire Safety holds the ABBE (Awarding Body of the Built Environment) level 3 award in fire door inspection and are competent to carry out fire door inspections for all buildings, including communal areas in blocks of flats, and flat entrance doors.
