Inspection & Compliance Services

Fire doors are a legal necessity in the UK for any building with shared or communal spaces, such as flats, offices, HMOs and other commercial buildings. At Summit Environmental, we provide expert fire door inspections and compliance services in and around Southampton, supporting landlords, building managers and business owners in meeting legal obligations and protecting both the people and the property.

Why Fire Doors Are Essential

A correctly installed and well-maintained fire door plays a vital role in fire safety:

  • Automatically closes to limit the spread of fire and smoke.
  • Contains flames and reduces toxic smoke inhalation.
  • Protects key escape routes such as corridors and stairwells.
  • Resists fire for a minimum of 30 minutes (FD30 rated).

Even certified fire doors can fail if not regularly maintained or properly installed. That’s why routine fire door inspections are critical to ensure ongoing protection and compliance.

Fire Door Maintenance & Insoections

Our specialist fire door inspection services ensure that every fire door is functioning effectively and meets the latest fire safety regulations. Our inspections include:

  • Correct sealing, alignment and gaps
  • Fully operational self-closing mechanisms
  • Detection of wear, damage, or warping
  • Confirmation of certification and compliance

With over 75% of fire-related fatalities caused by smoke inhalation (often outside the room where the fire started), a working fire door can be the key to survival.

Understanding Fire Door Ratings

A fire door's effectiveness depends on the correct fire resistance rating. Here are the most common types of fire doors used in the UK:

  • FD30 – 30 minutes of fire resistance; ideal for most homes and commercial properties
  • FD60 – 60 minutes of protection for higher-risk environments
  • FD90 & FD120 – Used in high-value or high-risk buildings like hospitals, server rooms, and infrastructure hubs

Many fire doors also include smoke seals, giving them an FDS rating (e.g. FDS30, FDS60). These doors feature certified fire-resistant cores and intumescent strips that expand with heat, sealing off gaps to prevent smoke and flames from spreading.
