Question 1

How often should fire doors be inspected?

Accepted Answer

For HMOs and high-occupancy properties, common-area fire doors are typically checked every six months. Most other properties should have their fire doors inspected at least once a year.

Question 2

Are fire door inspections required?

Accepted Answer

Scottish fire safety legislation under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires you to keep fire doors in good working order. In practice, that means regular, properly evidenced inspections — which is exactly what we deliver.

Question 3

What's the difference between a Fire Risk Assessment and a Fire Door Inspection?

Accepted Answer

A Fire Risk Assessment reviews the overall fire safety management of a property. A Fire Door Inspection focuses specifically on the condition and compliance of individual fire doors. Many clients choose to complete both during the same visit.

Question 4

Can fire door inspections be done with a fire risk assessment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients choose to combine both during the same visit to save time and keep everything in one report.

Question 5

Will you tell me to replace every door?

Accepted Answer

No. We identify genuine defects and provide practical, proportionate recommendations. We don't believe in unnecessary work — our focus is helping you achieve appropriate compliance cost-effectively.

Question 6

What's included in the report?

Accepted Answer

A clear digital PDF with photos of every door, a condition grade, notes on any defects and practical recommendations for what to fix and when.
