We inspect and test fire doors against recognised guidance, including BS 8214 (Code of Practice for Fire Door Assemblies), BS 9999, and the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Building Regulations Approved Document B, and the Building Safety Act 2022. We also assess installations against the manufacturer’s installation instructions, fire test evidence and field of application reports to ensure the complete door set remains within its certified scope.

Fire door performance is typically classified as FD30, FD60, FD90 or FD120, providing 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes of fire resistance respectively. Our inspections verify that the complete assembly meets the requirements necessary to achieve its designated fire rating and certification.

Working closely with third-party accreditation bodies, certification schemes and fire door manufacturers, we help clients demonstrate compliance through independently recognised certification processes. We liaise directly with certification providers to ensure fire doors are assessed against approved systems and tested constructions, enabling contractors, developers and building owners to obtain the evidence and certification required for regulatory compliance.

Where deficiencies are identified, we provide clear technical guidance and practical remedial recommendations. Our reports identify the root cause and specify the corrective action required to restore compliance.
