Fire-door inspections that fit your school holidays.
Every door in the school inspected, photographed and tracked, scheduled into the holidays and matched to the action points in your fire risk assessment.
- Door-by-door inspections
- Photographic evidence
- Digital fire-door register
- Defect tracking
- Booked into the holidays
For primary schools, secondary schools, academy trusts, independent schools and colleges across London, the East of England and the East Midlands.
Your fire risk assessment says the doors need checking. Then term starts.
Schools carry hundreds of fire doors across buildings of very different ages, and the window to do anything about them is short.
- Hundreds of doors across buildings of different ages and standards
- Classroom doors wedged open every single day
- Damage from trolleys, bags and constant heavy use
- Fire risk assessment action points carried forward year after year
- Access that is only really practical in the holidays
- Governors and trustees asking for evidence
- Records split between the site team, the trust and a contractor
- Refurbishments and new partitions that quietly changed the doors
The problem isn't booking an inspection.
It's getting it done in the holidays and being able to evidence it all year.
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.
The School Fire-Door Inspection Programme
Scheduled into a holiday, mapped to your fire risk assessment, and repeated annually.

-
02

-
03
Digital fire-door register
One register for the site, or one per school across a trust, in a format the site team can use.
-
04
Defect prioritisation
Red, amber and green ratings, so the site budget goes where it actually matters first.
-
05
Fire risk assessment alignment
Findings cross-referenced to the door-related action points in your fire risk assessment, so those actions can finally be closed.

Documentation written to be read by people who are not fire safety specialists.
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 site
Approximate door count, the buildings involved, and which holiday period you want to use.
We build the inspection programme
We size the work against the holiday window, agree access with your site team, and confirm the dates in writing.
We inspect and report
The inspection completes in the holiday and the report, defect schedule and next year's date land before term starts.
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.
