Fire door inspections in Surrey
Independent fire door inspections across Surrey
We work with managing agents, estates teams and duty holders throughout Surrey – including Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Reigate and surrounding areas – to deliver structured fire door inspections and clear, practical reporting.
Types of Surrey properties we inspect
Surrey has a mix of modern developments and older buildings with complex layouts. We regularly inspect fire doors in:
- Residential blocks and private estates
- Retirement living and extra-care schemes
- Hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities
- Office buildings and business parks
- Independent schools and academies
- Hotels, conference centres and event venues
Our reports are structured so that you can easily filter by building, block, floor or area, helping you to plan remedial works in a way that suits your operational requirements.
Typical fire door issues found in Surrey
In Surrey we often see fire doors that have been altered during refurbishments or retrofitted into existing openings. Common issues include:
- Inconsistent gaps and poor alignment, particularly on heavy, high-use doors
- Closers that have been disconnected or incorrectly adjusted
- Unsuitable ironmongery following security upgrades
- Non-fire-rated doors installed into protected escape routes
- Glazing and fanlights without appropriate fire-resisting specification
- Fire doors that conflict with accessibility requirements due to incorrect set-up
Our role is to highlight these issues clearly, explain why they matter and help you identify proportionate remedial actions.
Our Surrey fire door inspection process
- Initial discussion. We review your building layouts, existing documentation and any previous inspection reports to agree a scope.
- On-site inspection. Our inspectors work systematically through each building, recording findings live into our reporting system.
- Report delivery. You receive a digital report with photographs, location data and recommendations, suitable for sharing with internal stakeholders and contractors.
- Action planning. Where helpful, we can assist you in grouping doors by priority, risk level or area to build a realistic works programme.
Because we do not install or maintain fire doors, our recommendations are impartial and based on what is reasonably required to manage risk.
