A Fire Door Survey is a detailed inspection carried out by trained professionals to assess the condition, compliance, and functionality of fire doors within a building. It involves checking each door component to ensure it meets legal standards set out by UK regulations such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and guidance like BS 8214:2016 and BM TRADA standards. During the survey, every aspect of the fire door is examined — including the door leaf, frame, seals, hinges, glazing, signage, and closing mechanisms — to ensure they function correctly in the event of a fire. The inspection identifies any defects, damage, or non-compliance issues that could compromise fire safety performance.
Fire doors can fail during a fire if they are poorly fitted, damaged, or not maintained. In fact, the smallest issues — like missing intumescent strips or a door that doesn’t close fully — can make a fire door useless in an emergency.

While not named explicitly in law, regular fire door inspections are a requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which states that fire safety systems must be properly maintained. New laws under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 now require quarterly checks in multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 metres.
