Trusted Fire Safety Experts in Manchester

Fire doors are a legal life-safety requirement in HMOs, residential blocks and commercial buildings. Regular fire door inspections help ensure compliance with current fire safety legislation and reduce liability for landlords and managing agents.

We provide structured fire door inspections across Manchester, Bolton and surrounding areas, delivering clear compliance reports and practical remedial guidance.

What is a Fire Door Inspection? 

A fire door inspection is a systematic assessment of each fire door to ensure it meets required performance and installation standards.

During inspection we assess:

• Door leaf condition
• Gaps between door and frame
• Hinges and fixings
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals
• Self-closing devices
• Certification labels
• Frame condition and alignment 

Each door is recorded individually within a structured compliance report.

Who Needs Fire Door Inspections? 

Fire door inspections are typically required for:

• HMO landlords
• Letting agents
• Managing agents
• Block management companies
• Commercial property owners
• Schools and healthcare facilities

If you are responsible for building fire safety, you are responsible for the condition of the fire doors.

How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected? 

In most HMOs and managed residential properties, fire doors should be inspected every 6–12 months depending on risk profile and occupancy.

Higher-risk buildings may require more frequent checks.

We can advise based on your property type and current compliance position.

Is This Included in a Fire Risk Assessment? 

Not always.

A Fire Risk Assessment may note obvious defects, but it does not always include a detailed door-by-door inspection.

A dedicated fire door inspection provides a deeper compliance record and clear evidence of proactive management.

What You Receive

After inspection you receive:

• Structured digital compliance report
• Individual door references
• Photographic evidence
• Clear pass / fail indicators
• Practical remedial recommendations
• Replacement guidance where required

Do Failed Doors Need Replacement? 

Not necessarily.

Many doors can be brought back into compliance through targeted remedial works such as hinge replacement, closer adjustment or seal installation.

Full replacement is only required where the door cannot be restored to compliant condition.
