Fire-door inspections built around your turnaround window.
High door counts inspected, documented and signed off inside the window you actually have, then scheduled again for next year before this one closes.
- Door-by-door inspections
- Photographic evidence
- Digital fire-door register
- Defect tracking
- Planned around turnaround
For purpose-built student accommodation operators, university estates teams and HMO landlords across London, the East of England and the East Midlands.
Large buildings, high door counts and compressed maintenance windows.
A single scheme can hold several hundred fire doors, and the only realistic window to inspect them closes when the building refills.
- Several hundred bedroom doors in a single building
- A summer turnaround window that closes hard
- Damage picked up through the academic year and never logged
- Flat entrance doors sitting behind occupied rooms in term time
- Contractors who cannot resource the volume inside the window
- Evidence needed for universities, insurers and nomination agreements
- Last year's records held somewhere nobody can now find
- Bedroom doors altered by students and never put back
The problem isn't finding someone to check the doors.
It's getting every door checked, recorded and signed off before the building refills.
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 Annual Inspection Programme
Planned against your turnaround calendar, resourced for the volume, and repeated every year.
-
01
Door-by-door inspection
Every bedroom, flat entrance and communal door assessed against gaps, seals, hinges, closers, glazing, signage and certification.
-
02
Photographic inspection record
A photograph of every door, dated and filed against the room or flat number.
-
03
Digital fire-door register
One register per scheme, mapped to your room numbering so your team can actually use it.
-
04
Defect prioritisation
Red, amber and green ratings, so the turnaround budget goes to the doors that need it first.
-
05
Remedial action schedule
A fixed-price schedule of works, priced per door, so repairs can be signed off inside the window.
-
06
Reinspection and sign-off
Completed repairs re-checked by us before the scheme reopens, not after.
-
07
Recurring annual programme
Next year's inspection dated and booked while this year's is still fresh.
-

Operator and university reporting
Documentation ready for nomination agreements, insurers and university estates teams.
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.
Send us your scheme list
Bed counts, door counts and your turnaround dates. If you have last year's records, send those too.
We build the inspection programme
We size the resource against the window, phase the scheme by block or floor, and agree the dates in writing.
We inspect and report
Inspections complete inside the window, and the report, defect schedule and next year's dates land with you before the building refills.
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
Can you get through the volume in time?
Can you work in term time?
Do you handle the repairs?
What about damage caused by students?
