London Safety Checks provides professional fire door inspections in London for landlords, managing agents, property managers, businesses and dutyholders who need clear evidence of their fire doors’ condition. Our inspections help identify visible defects, poor fitting, damaged components and maintenance issues that may affect fire and smoke protection.
We inspect the full fire door assembly, including the door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, gaps, glazing, self-closing device, signage and hardware. After the survey, you receive a clear report showing the condition of each inspected door and any recommended next steps.
A fire door is only effective when every part of the doorset works correctly. Even a small issue, such as a damaged seal, loose hinge, excessive gap or faulty closer, can reduce the door’s ability to hold back fire and smoke.
Our fire door inspection services are designed to help property owners and responsible persons understand whether their doors are properly maintained. We provide inspections for residential blocks, HMOs, offices, retail units, schools, healthcare buildings, hotels and commercial premises across London.
A fire door is only useful when its complete doorset is in suitable condition and can operate as intended. During a fire door inspection, We examines the door leaf, frame, hardware, seals and surrounding area to identify defects that could affect its performance. We look at the details that are easy to overlook, not just whether the door appears in good condition.
We check the door leaf and frame for visible damage, warping, poor alignment, deterioration, cracking and other defects that may affect performance.
Fire door gaps are checked because excessive or uneven gaps can allow smoke and fire to pass through more quickly. Gaps around the door should be suitable for the doorset and its intended use.
We inspect hinges, handles, locks, latches and other hardware for loose fixings, damage, missing parts or unsuitable components.
Where fitted, we check fire and smoke seals for damage, missing sections, paint build-up, poor fitting or deterioration.
The door should close fully and latch correctly. We check whether the closer operates properly and whether the door is being held open, wedged or obstructed.
If the fire door has glazing, we check the visible condition, security and signs of damage or unsuitable alteration.
We check whether required signage is present, visible and suitable for the door’s use.
Fire door inspection requirements depend on the type of building, use, height and fire risk assessment. In the UK, fire doors are connected with wider fire safety duties under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005, Fire Safety Act 2021 and Fire Safety England Regulations 2022.
For multi-occupied residential buildings in England over 11 metres, responsible persons are required to carry out quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors. Other buildings should follow their fire risk assessment and a suitable maintenance schedule.
If your building also needs wider fire safety checks, London Safety Checks can help with [fire risk assessments, fire extinguisher servicing and emergency lighting support.

Fire door inspection requirements can vary depending on the property type, door usage and level of daily wear. A communal corridor door in a residential block may need different attention from a fire door in a private office, school or healthcare setting.

Fire doors in HMOs and shared properties often face heavy daily use. Regular inspection can help identify damaged seals, faulty closers, loose hardware, excessive gaps and other defects before they become bigger risks.
We inspect fire doors in offices, shops, hotels, restaurants, warehouses and other commercial buildings, considering how the doors are used and whether visible defects may affect performance.
