What are the Regulations Regarding Fire Door Surveys?
The main regulations dealing with fire doors in the UK include the Building Regulations (Part B), the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, along with its amendments, and BS 9999.
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require regular checks to ensure self-closing devices are working and all fire doors including flat entrance doors are in efficient working order and in good repair. These checks ensure the existing door standard is maintained.
From the 23rd of January 2023, it's a legal requirement for the Responsible Person for multi-occupied buildings over 11 metres to:
Carry out quarterly checks of all fire doors in communal areas.
Carry out annual checks on all flat entrance doors.
Provide information to residents about the importance of fire doors.
As a Responsible Person it’s your duty to ensure regular fire door surveys are carried out and any needed remedial work is completed. Not complying with the regulations poses a risk to the safety of occupants and can result in fines or even criminal charges.

Frequently Asked Questions
The precise cost of a fire door inspection will vary depending on a few factors including the size of your building and how many fire doors you have. To get an estimate of how much your fire door inspection will cost, please speak with a member of our team today.
Every fire door is fitted with intumescent strips. During a fire, the heat causes these strips to expand, filling the gap between the door and the frame. This seals the exit and prevents the spread of flames and smoke for a certain amount of time. Certified fire door sets are designed and tested to prove that they can resist the spread of fire for a specified period of time, they must be installed by an accredited person to the manufacturers exacting guidelines to ensure compliance.
Fire doors should be kept closed at all times. Propping open a fire door temporarily to create access is okay, however, you should remove the fire stop immediately after. If you need a fire door to remain open it should be fitted with certified fire door retainers. These are designed to hold the fire door open and automatically close it when a fire alarm is triggered.
