A fire door survey is a professional inspection of all fire doors in your building to check they meet current UK fire safety regulations. A qualified assessor examines each door for structural integrity, correct gaps, functioning closers, intumescent seals, signage, and certification. If you own, manage, or are responsible for a commercial property, block of flats, school, care home, or HMO in England, you almost certainly need one. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021, the 'responsible person' — typically the building owner or manager — must ensure fire doors are inspected regularly and kept in good working order. FireBlocked365 carries out fully accredited fire door surveys across Manchester and the wider North West.
In England, fire door compliance is governed primarily by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, updated by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022. These require that the 'responsible person' for any non-domestic premises — or any residential building with two or more homes — carries out and acts on fire risk assessments, ensures fire doors are fit for purpose, and keeps records of checks. For buildings over 11 metres tall, quarterly checks of flat entrance doors are now a legal requirement. For buildings over 18 metres, six-monthly checks are mandatory. Fire doors must be CE or UKCA marked, properly installed, and maintained. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £5,000 for lesser offences, and unlimited fines or up to two years' imprisonment for serious breaches.
Responsibility rests with the 'responsible person' under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. In most cases, this is the building owner, landlord, or managing agent — not the tenant. If you are a landlord of a block of flats, an HMO, or any multi-occupancy building, fire door compliance is your legal duty. For commercial leases, the lease agreement may delegate some responsibilities to the tenant, but ultimate liability for the building's fire safety structure typically remains with the freeholder or their appointed manager. If you're unsure who is responsible for a specific property, FireBlocked365 can advise during an initial consultation.
If fire doors fail an inspection — whether carried out by your own team, a third party, or a fire authority — you are legally required to remediate the issues promptly. Continued non-compliance can result in enforcement notices, prohibition orders (meaning you may have to vacate the building), fines, or in serious cases, prosecution. Your insurance may also be invalidated if fire safety failures are identified and not addressed. FireBlocked365 provides a clear written report following every survey, detailing exactly what needs to be fixed and why. Our team can carry out remedial works swiftly — in many cases on the same day or within 48 hours of the survey.
The frequency depends on your building type and height. For residential buildings over 18 metres, fire doors in communal areas must be checked every six months, and flat entrance doors every three months — these are legal requirements under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. For buildings between 11 and 18 metres, annual checks of communal fire doors are required, with best practice recommending quarterly. For schools, care homes, and commercial premises, fire doors should be inspected at least annually as part of a wider fire risk assessment, though quarterly is widely recommended. As a general rule: any time a door is repaired, replaced, or altered, it should be re-inspected.
Our fire door surveys are built around a rigorous 28-point compliance checklist, covering every element that affects a fire door's performance and certification. This includes: door leaf condition and integrity, correct door gaps (top, bottom, and sides), functioning and adjusted door closers, intumescent strips and smoke seals, hinges and their fixings, glazing and glazing beads (where present), signage and certification labels, frame condition, threshold and floor gap, and correct installation in the correct opening. You receive a detailed written report for every door inspected, with a clear pass/fail status and recommended remedial actions where required. Our surveys are carried out by fully accredited assessors and are designed to ensure first-time sign-off at your next fire authority inspection.

The time depends on the number of doors and the complexity of your building. As a rough guide, a single fire door inspection takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes when conducted thoroughly. A building with 20 fire doors would typically take around four to five hours, including documentation. For larger sites — such as hospitals, housing associations, or schools with 100 or more doors — we can deploy multiple surveyors to complete the work efficiently and minimise disruption to your building's operations. We will always give you a realistic time estimate before the survey begins.
