What Is A Fire Door Audit?
A fire door audit is a detailed inspection of fire doors, frames, and associated hardware to ensure they meet legal requirements and effectively prevent the spread of fire and smoke. The audit involves checking for any signs of damage, ensuring the proper functioning of all components, and verifying adherence to current fire safety standards. It is essential to carry out regular fire door audits to maintain the safety and compliance of your premises. We ensure that all necessary checks are performed thoroughly, giving you peace of mind that your fire doors are in optimal condition and ready to protect your property in the event of a fire.

The audit ensures that all fire doors comply with current regulations and standards, confirming their ability to effectively contain fire and smoke.

• Detailed Reporting
A comprehensive report will be provided, outlining the findings of the inspection and highlighting any issues or defects, along with suggested corrective actions.
