Fire Door Inspections

Slowing the spread of fire & smoke.

Fire doors are a critical component of a building’s passive fire protection strategy. They help protect lives and property by slowing the spread of fire and smoke, preserving escape routes, and maintaining compartmentation. Regular inspections ensure these doors remain compliant, effective, and ready to perform in an emergency.

SMS Alba Ltd delivers professional, fully documented fire door inspection services to support duty holders in meeting their legal obligations and maintaining safe, compliant buildings.

Protect lives. Protect property. Protect your business.

What is a Fire Door Inspection?

A fire door inspection is a thorough assessment of every fire door within a premises to confirm it meets current fire safety standards. Our qualified inspectors examine the door’s condition, functionality, and compliance, identifying defects that could compromise performance.

A typical inspection includes checks on:

Door leaf condition and integrity
Frame alignment and fixings
Hinges, closers, and hardware
Intumescent and smoke seals
Glazing, vision panels, and beading
Gaps, clearances, and closing action
Signage and certification

All findings are recorded in a detailed report with clear recommendations for remedial action.

Why Are Fire Door Inspections Important?

Fire doors are a legal requirement in most non‑domestic buildings and form a vital part of the building’s fire strategy. Without regular inspections, damage, wear, or incorrect alterations can go unnoticed - leaving doors unable to perform when needed.

Inspections help ensure:

Doors close fully and maintain compartmentation
Seals, frames, and hardware remain intact and fit for purpose
Any deterioration or unauthorised modifications are identified early
Duty holders remain compliant with fire safety legislation
Insurance conditions are met and risks are reduced

Failure to maintain fire doors can lead to significant safety risks, enforcement action, and potential issues with insurance claims.
