Fire Door Surveys

Independent surveys to confirm fire doors are suitable, compliant, and performing as intended.

What Fire Door Surveys Involve

Fire Door Surveys assess the condition, installation and performance of fire doors to ensure they function as designed in the event of a fire. Surveys identify defects, maintenance needs and compliance gaps.

Why Fire Doors Are Critical

Fire doors are a key life safety measure. Failures can compromise compartmentation and evacuation strategies, particularly in higher-risk settings such as care, education and multi-occupancy buildings.
