Fire-door compliance, without adding to your team's workload.
We inspect, document and track every fire door in the home, and keep the record ready for whoever asks to see it.
- Door-by-door inspections
- Photographic evidence
- Digital fire-door register
- Defect tracking
- Worked around your residents
For residential, nursing and dementia care homes across London, the East of England and the East Midlands.
Your team has enough to manage without chasing inspection records.
Care home fire doors take more daily damage than almost any other building type, and the people responsible for them are already stretched.
- Doors knocked every day by trolleys, beds and wheelchairs
- Closers adjusted or disconnected to make doors easier to open
- Doors wedged open for residents who cannot manage them
- Fire risk assessment actions carried forward month after month
- Inspection records held by a contractor rather than by the home
- A CQC or fire service visit that could come at any time
- No single list showing which doors were checked and when
- Repairs carried out by a handyman with no record of what was fitted
The problem isn't just getting the doors inspected.
It's being able to show, on the day someone asks, that it was done properly.
One programme. Every door. One place to see what's happening.
Six stages, run in order, on every building we look after.
Inspect
Door-by-door inspection with photographic evidence, carried out by an FDIS-certified inspector.
Record
Every finding linked to the property and to the individual door it belongs to.
Prioritise
Defects categorised red, amber or green, so your team knows what needs attention first.
Resolve
Outstanding actions tracked through to completion, with a fixed price against each one.
Reinspect
Follow-up inspections organised, and completed works re-checked before they are signed off.
Report
Clear documentation at property and portfolio level, ready for whoever asks to see it.

Inspection-ready documentation
A file you can hand to a fire officer, an inspector or an insurer without editing it first.
Sounds good. Can these people actually do it?
A fair question. Here is what stands behind every inspection.
- FDIS-certified inspectorsInspections carried out by certified fire door inspectors, with the certificate number printed on the report.
- A documented methodologyThe same inspection process on every door: gaps, seals, hinges, closers, glazing, signage and certification.
- Fully insuredPublic liability and professional indemnity insurance in place, evidence available on request.
- Photographic reportingA photograph of every door, dated and filed against that door, not a representative sample.
- Digital documentationA register you hold, in a format you can search, share and hand over.
- Clear defect categorisationRed, amber and green ratings with a plain-English note on what is wrong and what it needs.
Getting started takes three steps.
Your team doesn't need to build the system. We do.
Tell us about the home
Ten minutes on the phone. How many doors, how many floors, the resident profile, and who holds the keys.
We build the inspection programme
We agree a date and a route through the home that works around meals, medication rounds and resident routines.
We inspect and report
You receive the inspection record, the defect schedule and your next inspection date. Your team does none of the admin.
We guarantee the part we control.
Our Reporting Guarantee
If your agreed inspection report isn't delivered within 5 working days of the completed inspection, we provide that report at no charge.
And if we miss an agreed inspection date through an error on our side, we reschedule it at no additional charge.
Questions We Get Asked
What if we already have someone doing this?
How will you work around our residents?
Do you handle the repairs?
How long will you be on site?
Are your inspectors checked?
Do you cover our area?
The people we work with.
Want fire doors taken off your team's list?
Tell us about the home and we'll show you exactly what the programme would cover and what it would cost.
No obligation. No commitment.
