Fire Door Inspection
Fire Door Inspection – CMH Fire Doors
Ensure safety and compliance with CMH Fire Doors’ certified fire door inspections—trusted experts protecting your property, people, and peace of mind
Meeting Legal Requirements
Compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is at the heart of our service. Our certified inspectors conduct detailed evaluations of every fire door to ensure full legal compliance, helping you maintain a safe environment and meet all regulatory obligations with confidence and peace of mind.
Thorough Assessment Process
Our inspections begin with a thorough evaluation of each fire door’s structure and operation. We examine key components including the door leaf, frame, self-closers, hinges, locks, handles, panic hardware, glazing, and door selectors. Intumescent strips and smoke seals are also checked to ensure maximum passive fire protection.
Precise Measurements and Compliance Checks
We take precise measurements of gaps around the door and between the threshold to ensure proper sealing and performance. Fire safety signage is reviewed for clarity, visibility, and compliance with current standards. Every detail is documented to ensure your fire doors meet strict safety regulations and function correctly.
Aligned with Industry Standards
Our inspection schedule is based on best practices, including BS 9999’s six-monthly inspections and monthly checks as per government fire safety guidance. This ensures that your fire doors are consistently maintained, compliant, and capable of performing reliably during a fire emergency, reducing overall risk.
