Frequently Asked Questions:
You need to know whether your fire doors are in suitable condition and whether they are likely to perform as intended in a fire.
A fire door inspection checks the key parts of the doorset, including the door leaf, frame, gaps, hinges, seals, closer, latch, glazing, signage and general condition. After the inspection, you should have a clear understanding of any defects and what needs to be done next.
Are your fire door inspections carried out by a qualified inspector?
Our fire door inspection work is supported by ABBE Level 3 fire door inspection training and FPA-based inspection methodology. We inspect key elements including the door leaf, frame, gaps, hinges, seals, closer, latch, glazing, signage and general condition, with clear reporting and photographic evidence where required.
Do you have BM TRADA or IFC / Kiwa experience?
Our team has experience working within recognised third-party certification environments, including BM TRADA Q-Mark and IFC / Kiwa-led passive fire protection standards. We do not claim company certification unless certification is held directly by Safe City Fire Protection Ltd within the relevant scope.
Do you provide evidence after fire door or fire stopping works?
Yes. Where required, we provide clear records, photographic evidence, itemised observations and remedial recommendations. For completed works, we can provide evidence to support client records, audits and ongoing fire safety management.
Each fire door is checked carefully and the findings are recorded.
This may include checking whether the door closes correctly, whether the gaps are suitable, whether the seals are fitted and in good condition, whether the hinges and closer are working properly, and whether there is any damage, alteration or poor workmanship that could affect the fire door.
Where required, we provide photographs, notes and clear recommendations.
Yes. Where a report is required, we can provide a clear fire door inspection report with photographic evidence and itemised findings.
The report helps you understand which doors have issues, what the issues are, and what remedial works may be needed. This is useful for managing agents, landlords, care homes, responsible persons, contractors and commercial property managers who need clear fire safety records.
Yes. We can carry out suitable fire door remedial works where appropriate.
This may include adjustments, replacing seals, fitting or adjusting closers, correcting latch issues, installing signage, dealing with suitable gap issues and carrying out practical repairs. If a door is beyond suitable repair, we can advise when replacement may need to be considered.
No. Some fire doors can be improved through suitable remedial works.
However, not every door can or should be upgraded. The condition of the door, frame, certification, damage, gaps, ironmongery and overall suitability all need to be considered before deciding whether remedial works or replacement is the better option.
Yes. We provide fire stopping works to help maintain compartmentation within residential, commercial and managed buildings.
This can include sealing suitable service penetrations, gaps, joints and openings in fire-resisting walls, floors and ceilings. Fire stopping is important because unsealed openings can allow fire and smoke to spread through a building more quickly.
A compartmentation survey checks whether fire-resisting walls, floors, ceilings, risers and service penetrations appear to be maintaining the intended fire separation.
This can help identify issues such as unsealed holes, damaged fire stopping, gaps around services, breaches above ceilings, riser defects and areas where previous works may have affected the building’s fire protection.
Can you help after a fire risk assessment has identified defects?
Yes. If a fire risk assessment has highlighted issues with fire doors, fire stopping or compartmentation, we can help review the findings and advise on practical next steps.
Where suitable, we can carry out inspections, provide clearer defect information and complete remedial works to help address the actions raised.
Yes. We can support fire door installation works where replacement is required or where a suitable existing door cannot reasonably be remediated.
This may include installation of fire doors, frames, linings, closers, seals, signage and associated ironmongery, depending on the site requirements and agreed specification.
Do you work with contractors as well as property managers?
Yes. We work with managing agents, landlords, care homes and commercial clients, and we also support contractors on passive fire protection packages.
This can include fire door surveys, remedial works, fire door installation, fire stopping, compartmentation support and evidence-based reporting for project records.
Yes. We can help provide clear records for the work we carry out, including inspection findings, photographic evidence, itemised observations and remedial recommendations where required.
We can also support wider fire safety requirements, including fire risk assessment support, fire strategy support and fire management planning through trusted professional arrangements where needed.
