Questions we get asked

How often should fire doors be inspected?

In England, residential buildings over 11 metres must have communal fire doors checked every three months and flat entrance doors checked at least once a year on a “best endeavours” basis, under Regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 (in force since 23 January 2023).

For other buildings, the frequency should be set by your fire risk assessment. Many buildings use a professional inspection every six months with routine visual checks in between. Busy or high-traffic doors may need checking more often.

How often do fire doors need maintenance?

The Fire Safety Order requires fire doors to be kept maintained and in good repair, but it doesn’t set a fixed timetable. The right frequency depends on how busy the doors are, and your fire risk assessment should guide it.

In practice, the parts that wear fastest are closers, seals and hinges, especially on busy corridor and stair doors. Fixing them as soon as a check finds a problem is usually cheaper than waiting for a door to fail its next inspection.

How much does a fire door inspection cost?

It depends on how many doors there are, how easy they are to reach (flat entrance doors need resident access) and what condition they are in. We quote after a short call about your building, so the price reflects the actual job.

Most of the real cost in fire door compliance sits in the repairs an inspection finds, not the inspection itself. That’s why every Burnham survey comes with a prioritised repair quote.

Is a maintenance plan better than one-off visits?

For most buildings with an ongoing duty, yes. A plan keeps inspections on schedule and lets repairs be done at agreed rates, so small fixes don’t need a new quote each time. One-off surveys suit buildings that need a baseline or a single round of repairs.
