Fire Door Inspections FAQs

Fire Door Inspections and installations can be a tricky subject to get your head round with the amount of important legislation that they follow.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions, which will hopefully clear up some of your concerns.

How often do fire doors need to be inspected?

According to the BWF-CERTFIRE Best Practice Guide, as a building owner or responsible person you should inspect your fire door once every 6 months.

Note: Doors in a high traffic area, are likely more susceptible
to damage and should be checked more frequently than
other doors in the building.

According to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is necessary for a competent person to conduct inspections on your fire doors.

Any fire door inspector must be officially approved and possess the necessary qualifications to assess your doorsets effectively. The Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS), endorsed by the British Woodworking Federation, serves as a recognised certification ensuring competence in the evaluation of fire door inspections.

Is it a legal requirement to have fire doors inspection?

An assessment of fire door integrity will verify the compliance of your building’s fire doors with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 therfore making it a legal requirement.

This legislation mandates that fire-resisting doors must be properly installed and adequately maintained to meet their intended function.

The law stipulates that those accountable for non-domestic premises must ensure the correct installation of fire doors and frames to effectively halt the spread of fire. For more information on the subject read our blog post here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Never having used this company before, I was hesitant & concerned about whether they would be the right fit for the job at hand, how wrong I was. From the first greeting to the last handshake at the end of the day, UKFC were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were not there to tell you what was wrong, not there to talk down to you as some companies do, they explained how we could quickly eradicate any issues found, they gave me solutions not grief!!!! Professional, caring, a sense of humor at times which is always nice but most importantly, they had a common sense approach and that helped so much. Will defiantly use them again, highly recommended company that still has that personal touch!!! Lee
