We provide professional Fire Door Surveys for supported housing providers, landlords and property managers, helping you understand the condition of your fire doors and identify issues that could affect their performance in a fire.
Our surveys assess the condition and key components of fire doors, including doors, frames, glazing, hinges, closers, seals, gaps and other relevant hardware. We provide clear photographic evidence, documented findings and practical recommendations for any remedial action required.
Whether you manage a single supported accommodation property or a larger portfolio, we provide a consistent and practical approach to fire door inspections and reporting.
*From £199
A Fire Door Survey is a detailed inspection of fire doors to assess their condition, functionality and visible defects as part of the wider fire safety arrangements within supported accommodation.
Fire doors are designed to help prevent or slow the spread of fire and smoke, protecting escape routes and giving residents and staff more time to evacuate safely.
Our surveys can assess areas such as:
• Door leaf and frame condition
• Self-closing devices
• Hinges and other ironmongery
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals, where present
• Door gaps and alignment
• Glazing and vision panels
• Locks and latches
• Damage, alterations or unauthorised modifications
• Signs of deterioration or poor maintenance
• Identification and location of individual fire doors
Where defects or potential issues are identified, these are recorded with photographic evidence and practical recommendations for remedial action.
A Fire Door Survey does not replace a Fire Risk Assessment. Instead, it provides more detailed information about the condition of fire doors and can support the wider fire safety management of your supported accommodation.

Fire doors are a critical part of fire safety in supported accommodation. Damage, poor maintenance or inappropriate alterations can affect how effectively a fire door performs when it is needed.
For supported housing providers, landlords and property managers, a professional Fire Door Survey can help you:
• Identify damaged or defective fire doors
• Check doors, frames and associated components
• Identify issues with closers, hinges, seals and other hardware
• Record damage, alterations and maintenance issues
• Prioritise remedial work
• Maintain clear records of fire door condition
• Support wider fire safety responsibilities
• Provide documented evidence of inspections
• Manage fire door condition across multiple supported accommodation properties
Our Fire Door Surveys are carried out with reference to applicable fire safety legislation, British Standards and guidance, including:
• Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
• Fire Safety Act 2021
• Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022
• BS 8214:2026
• BS 9999
For certain multi-occupied residential buildings in England above 11 metres, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require communal fire doors to be checked at least every three months and flat entrance fire doors to be checked at least every 12 months on a best-endeavours basis. These routine checks do not replace the wider assessment of fire-door suitability as part of a Fire Risk Assessment.

There is no single inspection frequency for every supported housing property. The appropriate frequency depends on the building, its fire risk assessment and the type and use of the accommodation. For certain multi-occupied residential buildings in England above 11 metres, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require communal fire doors to be checked at least every three months and flat entrance fire doors at least every 12 months on a best-endeavours basis.
There is no blanket legal requirement for every supported housing property to have a Fire Door Survey at a fixed frequency. However, fire doors form part of wider fire safety arrangements and must be appropriately maintained. A Fire Door Survey can provide a more detailed assessment of their condition and identify issues requiring action.
Our Fire Door Surveys assess the condition of fire doors and key components including the door leaf, frame, hinges, self-closing devices, seals, glazing, gaps, locks, latches and other hardware. We also identify damage, alterations and maintenance issues.
We document the issue and provide practical recommendations for remedial action. Depending on the problem, this may involve adjustment, repair, replacement of components or replacement of the door. Not every defect means the whole fire door needs replacing.
Yes. A Fire Risk Assessment is a wider assessment of fire safety within supported housing, considering the building, its use, residents, escape routes and fire safety measures. A Fire Door Survey focuses specifically on the condition of the fire doors and does not replace a Fire Risk Assessment. Government guidance confirms that routine fire-door checks are based on the assumption that the Fire Risk Assessment has already considered the suitability of the fire doors.
Yes. We can survey individual supported accommodation properties or larger portfolios, providing consistent inspections, photographic evidence, reporting and recommendations across your properties.
Fire Door Surveys start from £199. The final cost depends on the number of fire doors, property type, location and scope of the survey. Contact us for a tailored quotation for individual supported accommodation properties or larger portfolios.
