The Importance of Fire Safety for Businesses
Fires can happen anywhere, but some businesses are more at risk than others. Warehouses, manufacturing plants, and businesses with a lot of flammable materials are especially vulnerable. Fires can cause significant damage, injuries, and even fatalities.
That’s why it’s important to take preventive measures to minimize the risk of fire and ensure that you have adequate protection in place. This includes ensuring that your fire doors are up to date.
Fire doors are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, giving people time to escape. They should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that they are working properly.
If you have a business that is at risk of fire, it’s important to have a fire safety plan in place. This plan should include procedures for evacuating the building, as well as instructions on how to use fire extinguishers and other fire safety equipment.
Benefits of Fire Door Survey Services
Fire doors are designed to withstand fire and smoke, providing a safe escape route for occupants and protecting the building’s structure. They can prevent the spread of fire and smoke, giving occupants more time to evacuate the building and reducing the risk of injuries and fatalities.
Fire doors are required by law in many buildings, including commercial and industrial properties. Installing fire doors in your business can help you comply with fire safety regulations and avoid penalties and fines.
: Fire doors can prevent the spread of fire and smoke, reducing the risk of property damage and loss. They can also minimize the disruption to your business operations, allowing you to resume normal activities quickly.
Installing fire doors in your business can improve your insurance coverage and reduce your premiums. Insurance companies often offer discounts to businesses that have adequate fire protection measures in place, such as fire doors.

Fire Door Survey Process
When you choose our fire door service provider, you can expect the following during the survey process:
FAQ
Our comprehensive survey, conducted by experts, identifies and addresses specific fire door issues in a compliant way. Plus, you’ll have a clear asset list for proper maintenance. Not every door in your building needs to be a fire door – we can guide you on where they are required.
While a building inspector may sign off a buidling, they may not conduct a detailed inspection of each fire door on-site. The responsibility for maintaining a safe building lies with the responsible person, not the building inspector.
All fire doors should meet minimum requirements for structure, gaps, condition, seals/strips, and ironmongery (depending on their location). Even if they were approved during the initial building inspection, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are compliant today.
When we examine the fire doors we look at:
- Hinges
- Door closer (self-closing devices)
- Door frame
- Fire safety signage
- Panic hardware devices for external final fire exit doors
- Gaps around the doors and threshold gaps
- Door leaf
- Locks and levers/handles
- Intumescent strips and cold smoke seals
- Hold open devices
- Glazing
After, we provide a detailed survey that clearly defines the condition of each door and our recommendations for which parts (if any) need to be replaced.
Before conducting a survey, we request a fire strategy plan or compartmentation drawing for the property. If this information is unavailable, we apply a risk-based life safety approach and use fire engineering judgment to establish the assumed lines of fire resistance, based on building regulations or other relevant design codes
Many fire doors lack original documentation or manufacturer identification. In such cases, our surveyor employs a risk-based approach, assessing factors like door thickness, weight, and typical fire door features to determine if it should be inspected as a fire door. We thoroughly inspect all aspects.
