Fire Door Inspections & Compliance Services in Kent

Fire doors are a critical part of a building's overall fire safety strategy. When correctly installed and maintained, they help to slow the spread of fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and give occupants vital time to evacuate safely while allowing emergency services to access the building.

To remain effective, fire doors must be regularly inspected to identify wear, damage, or missing components that could cause failure in the event of a fire. Even small defects can significantly reduce a fire door's performance - and ultimately, its failure can cost lives.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it is a legal requirement for the Responsible Person to ensure that fire doors are properly maintained and fit for purpose. Regular fire door inspections are a key part of meeting this obligation.
