Fire Door Inspection

Ensuring Compliance & Fire Safety with Professional Inspections

Fire doors are a critical component of a building’s fire protection system, designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke.

However, to function effectively, they must be regularly inspected to ensure they meet safety standards and legal requirements.

A damaged or poorly maintained fire door can fail in an emergency, putting lives and property at risk.

At Overbrook, we provide comprehensive fire door inspections, ensuring that your fire doors remain compliant with BS 9999, BS 8214, and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Our expert inspections help property owners, facility managers, and landlords maintain the highest levels of fire safety compliance.

Why Fire Door Inspections Are Essential

Legal Compliance & Safety Regulations

Fire door inspections are a legal requirement for buildings covered under fire safety legislation. Non-compliance can lead to serious legal consequences, including fines and liability in the event of a fire.

Our inspections ensure that your doors meet all fire safety regulations, keeping occupants safe and your property legally compliant.

Identifying & Preventing Fire Door Failures

Even minor defects can render a fire door ineffective. Our inspections identify:

  • Damaged or missing seals that could allow smoke to spread.
  • Faulty hinges, locks, and closers affecting door performance.
  • Gaps and misalignment that compromise fire resistance.
  • Unapproved modifications that impact compliance.

Regular inspections help detect issues early, reducing the risk of costly repairs or replacements.

Reducing Fire Risk & Liability

Fire doors play a crucial role in fire containment. If they are not properly maintained, fire can spread rapidly, increasing damage and endangering lives.

Routine inspections help to minimise risk, ensure full functionality, and meet insurance requirements.
