Fire Door Inspections Survey
AAA Risk Solutions provides fire door inspection surveys that are delivered to business owners in a structured and comprehensible PDF format upon completion of the assessment.
Regular fire door checks are essential for ensuring compartmentation, preventing the spread of fire and smoke, and protecting lives. Non-compliance can lead to legal action, fines, or even imprisonment.
At AAA Risk Solutions, we provide comprehensive fire door inspection services to help you comply with UK fire safety regulations. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure fire doors are regularly checked and maintained to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 now legally require quarterly inspections of fire doors in communal areas and annual checks for flat entrance doors in residential buildings over 11m in height. Additionally, Building Regulations 2010 (Part B) mandates that fire doors meet strict fire resistance standards. Non-compliance can lead to enforcement action under the Housing Act 2004 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018.
At AAA Risk Solutions, we ensure your fire doors are fully operational, self-closing, and legally compliant. As an accredited tier one Risk Assessor with the IFSM (Institute of Fire Safety Managers) and TFRAR (Tiered Fire Risk Assessors Register) your safety is our priority.
