Fire Doors in London
Inspections & Assessments
Fire doors play a critical role in safeguarding buildings during a fire, but their effectiveness depends entirely on proper installation, maintenance, and regular inspection. In the UK, if your building contains communal areas, you are legally required to ensure that all fire doors are fully compliant and in good working order.
At Summit Environmental, we specialise in fire door inspections and compliance assessments across London and Kent. Our service ensures that your property meets all legal obligations while enhancing the safety of residents, employees, and visitors.
Why Fire Door Inspections Are Essential
Fire doors are designed to compartmentalise a building in the event of a fire, slowing the spread of flames and toxic smoke, and protecting key escape routes. However, this level of protection is only guaranteed when the doors are regularly assessed for compliance and functionality.
A comprehensive fire door inspection will identify:
- Faulty or missing self-closing mechanisms
- Excessive gaps that compromise smoke resistance
- Damaged door leaves, frames, seals or hinges
- Poor installation or unauthorised modifications
- Non-compliance with current fire safety standards (e.g., BS 476, EN 1634)
