Why Fire Door Maintenance Is Required by Law

Fire doors play a crucial role in passive fire protection. It is therefore essential that fire door sets are properly maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or appropriate guidelines. This is a requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and must be carried out by a certified and accredited fire door maintainer.

As with all other fire protection equipment, fire doorsets must be regularly checked to ensure they function correctly, are fit for purpose, and ready to use in the event of an emergency. Fire door maintenance should be treated with the same gravity as testing other fire safety equipment.

Firelink holds BM TRADA Q-Mark third-party accreditation for Fire Door Maintenance. Our team is highly trained to ensure the compliance and safety of fire doors.

What Our Maintenance Services Cover

Our fire door maintenance services include all aspects of inspection, minor repairs, and compliance support for existing doors across various commercial buildings and communal areas. Whether we installed the doors or not, our servicing process is designed to keep them in high working order and ready to perform when needed. All components are installed to the latest BS standards, ensuring safety and legality. Our fire door fitters follow detailed specifications for every door frame, smoke seal, hinge, and leaf, so you remain fully compliant. We uphold the highest level of quality standards across every installation, ensuring every fire door meets its intended fire resistance level.

Fire Door Inspections

Each visit begins with a detailed fire door inspection by a qualified competent person. We assess all door components, including hinges, seals, latches, glazing, gaps and frames. These regular inspections are essential to confirm that the door continues to meet current fire safety standards and the manufacturer’s specifications, thereby reducing the risk of fire spread.

Fire Door Repairs and Remedial Works

Where faults are identified, our technicians can complete on-site fire door repairs and carry out necessary fire door remedial works. We address gaps, damaged seals, warped doors, compromised closers, and other issues that can negatively affect fire door performance. We do not replace doors unnecessarily, but when required, we follow the correct procedures to ensure any new fire door installation meets current safety regulations.

Documentation and Certification

Following each maintenance visit, clients receive comprehensive documentation detailing the condition of each door, the actions taken, compliance status, and tailored advice for ongoing upkeep. This is essential for audits, insurers, and proof of legal compliance. Our BM TRADA certification supports your commitment to professional fire protection and quality assurance.

Speak to our accredited experts to schedule routine maintenance that meets all safety and legal requirements.

How Often Should Fire Doors Be Maintained?

The frequency of maintenance will depend on foot traffic, building use, and previous servicing records. However, regular maintenance is strongly advised to avoid deterioration that could compromise fire resistance.

Fire doors in high-traffic areas or communal spaces, such as corridors, stairwells, and entrances, should be inspected and maintained more frequently. Maintenance helps ensure that doors operate correctly and can perform as intended in the event of an emergency. It is the responsibility of the building owner or appointed duty holder to arrange this work with an accredited provider.

All maintenance should be carried out by a certified specialist, following the original manufacturer’s instructions to maintain fire integrity and compliance.
