Fire Door Inspection Services for Residential and Commercial Buildings

Accredited, competent fire door inspections to keep your building safe, compliant and fully protected

Fire doors are essential life safety features. They protect escape routes, slow the spread of fire and smoke, and form a critical part of a building’s compartmentation strategy.

UK legislation requires fire doors to be regularly inspected, maintained and kept in efficient working order to comply with the Fire Safety Order 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.

These inspections are legally required and must be carried out by a competent person. IPC provides fully compliant, BS 8674:2025-aligned inspections across all building types.

Our Level 3-qualified inspectors carry out detailed checks on every door leaf and frame, identifying defects, damage and compliance issues before they become safety risks.

All inspections are carried out by Level 3 fire door inspectors and follow requirements under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 and the Fire Safety Act 2021.

Each inspection includes photographic evidence, clear recommendations and a full digital report for your building’s compliance records.
