Fire Door Inspections Across Multiple Sectors

Since the Regulatory Reform Order of 2005, there have been several instances of Fire & Rescue services prosecuting businesses for Fire Safety Order breaches. We provide fire door inspections with the sole intention of keeping your building safe and preventing you from facing a large fine.

When inspecting your fire doors, we only suggest remedial works that are necessary. We are not here to condemn your doors and cost you unnecessary expense. Instead we will advise you on how your fire doors can be improved to help keep building users safe and maintained to comply with fire safety law.

We can also inspect new fire doors that have been recently installed so that compliance is confirmed before the contractor leaves the site, as well as older doors that have been repaired or upgraded.

We carry out inspections for:

  • Housing associations
  • Care homes
  • Landlords
  • Historic buildings
  • Schools
  • Hospitals
  • Factories
  • Warehouses

Just a note, as you know, I have studied a LOT but I have to say, I`m about halfway through the video presentation and for all the study I`ve done, this is by far THE BEST training I have encountered 😊 Kudos to you, I don't know how long it took you to compile this course but WOW 😯 I`ll study, re-study then re-study again then read the book and keep taking the test, if anybody wants/needs training I`ll definitely be sending them your way, wish I purchased your course first, (although then I wouldn't know how good your one is 😆) thanks so much.

Just a big thank you following the recent FDC FD Inspectors Course. It was a really worthwhile couple of days where I learnt a lot and developed through practice and professional discussion. The input was well thought out and offered a real move forward after the other courses on fire doors I've undertaken. Thanks for the time taken, really worthwhile.
