Ensuring Fire Safety with Regular Inspections
Freebird provides certified fire door inspection services across Sussex for commercial, education, healthcare, hospitality, retail, industrial and residential buildings.
We support Responsible Persons, managing agents and building owners in meeting legal requirements and maintaining effective fire safety. Our inspections are thorough, practical and fully documented, giving you clear guidance on any remedial works required.
Why Fire Door Inspections Matter:
Fire doors are a critical barrier against fire and smoke. In the event of a fire, they protect escape routes, limit fire spread and help safeguard occupants and property.
However, fire doors only perform correctly if they are properly installed, maintained and regularly inspected.
Under the Regulatory Reform Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure fire safety measures identified within a fire risk assessment are maintained in efficient working order. This includes ensuring your fire doors remain compliant and fit for purpose.
How Often Should Fire Door Inspections Be Carried Out?
In most commercial and multi occupancy buildings, fire door inspection should be carried out at least every six months.
Following the Fire Safety England Regulations 2022, additional legal requirements apply to residential buildings over 11 metres, including quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors
What Our Door Inspections Cover:
Our fire door inspections assess the complete doorset, not just the door leaf. Each inspection typically includes assessment of:
- Door leaf condition and correct fire rating
- Gaps, alignment and clearances
- Hinges, closers and ironmongery
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
- Self closing function
- Frame integrity and overall installation quality
You receive a clear report outlining compliant doors, advisory items and defects requiring remedial work. This documentation supports audits, insurers and fire risk assessment reviews.
Supporting Your Fire Safety Strategy
Fire door inspection is not a standalone task. It forms part of your wider fire safety management plan.
Our structured approach helps you:
- Demonstrate due diligence
- Reduce compliance risk
- Prepare for audits or enforcement visits
- Protect occupants, staff and visitors
- Maintain accurate maintenance records
Where required, we can schedule inspections outside of normal operating hours to minimise disruption.
