Fire Door Inspection Services Surrey
At Shaps Fire Safety, we offer expert fire door inspection services in Surrey and the surrounding areas to help your premises comply with fire safety regulations and ensure maximum protection for occupants. Fire doors play a critical role in containing fires and preventing the spread of smoke, giving people time to evacuate safely. However, they must be installed correctly and maintained regularly to perform effectively.
Our Level 3 qualified fire door inspectors thoroughly assess commercial and residential buildings. Please note: we specialise in inspection and compliance advice only—we do not carry out replacements or installations, ensuring an unbiased, independent service. Every inspection concludes with a detailed written report outlining defects found and our professional recommendations for repairs or replacements.
What’s Included in a Fire Door Inspection?
We carry out a complete visual and functional inspection of all fire doors on your premises. Our assessments include:
- Door Leaves and Frames – Checking for warping, damage, and proper alignment.
- Seals and Smoke Brushes – Ensuring intumescent strips and brushes are intact and effective.
- Glazing and Vision Panels – Confirming compliance and inspecting for cracks or integrity issues.
- Hardware – Assessing hinges, locks, latches, and handles for correct operation and wear.
- Self-Closing Devices – Verifying that doors fully close under their power.
- Signage – Ensuring legally required signage is present and correct.
- Clearances and Gaps – Measuring the gaps around the door to prevent the spread of smoke and flames.
What Is Included In A Fire Risk Assessment?
Our assessments are detailed, clear, and designed to help you take practical action. We identify risks and hazards in all areas of your premises, including:
- Fire Hazards – Identifying flammable materials, faulty electrical equipment, open flames, and other ignition sources.
- Escape Routes – Checking that all emergency exits are marked, unobstructed, and accessible.
- Fire Detection and Warning Systems – Reviewing smoke alarms, fire alarms, and detection systems.
