Fire door inspections, documented properly.
Door-by-door inspections by FDIS-certified inspectors, with a photograph of every door, a plain-English rating and a record you can hand to anyone who asks for it.
- Door-by-door inspections
- A photograph of every door
- Red, amber and green ratings
- Fixed-price repair quotes
- Digital fire-door register
For any building with fire doors, from London to Lincoln and everywhere within three hours of Norwich.
Most fire door inspections produce a certificate. Very few produce a record.
The law does not ask whether somebody looked at your doors. It asks you to show what was found, what was done about it and when the next check is due.
- A certificate saying “all fine” with no door-level detail behind it
- No photographs, so nothing can be verified afterwards
- Findings with no repair cost attached to them
- No record of which doors could not be accessed, or why
- The inspector's competence not evidenced anywhere on the report
- No schedule showing when the next inspection is due
- Records held by the contractor rather than by you
- Nothing on file showing when a door was last actually repaired
Anyone can look at a door.
What protects you is being able to prove, door by door, that a competent person did.
One programme. Every door. One place to see what's happening.
Six stages, run in order, on every building we look after.

What a Fire Door Inspection Includes
Every inspection we carry out produces all eight of these. Not a subset.

Door-by-door inspection
Gaps, seals, hinges, closers, glazing, signage and certification, assessed on every door by an FDIS-certified inspector.
-
02
A photograph of every door
Dated and filed against the door it belongs to, so any finding can be checked months later.
-
03
Red, amber or green rating
Each door rated with a plain-English note on what is wrong and what it needs.
-
04
Fixed-price repair quote
A price against every failure, so you know the cost of compliance before you commit to it.
-
05
Digital fire-door register
One register covering every door and every inspection date, in a format you hold and control.
-
06
Access attempt logging
Every attempt to access a door recorded with date and time, so reasonable efforts are evidenced.

Your next quarterly or annual check dated and in the diary before the report is filed.

A records file that stands up
Ready for a fire officer, an insurer or a leaseholder's solicitor without editing it first.
