Fire Door Surveys
Detailed fire door surveys that identify defects, support compliance and give housing providers a clear picture of fire door condition across their properties.
OUR SERVICE
M-Four delivers structured fire door surveys, providing housing providers with a clear understanding of the condition and integrity of fire doors across their properties.
Fire doors are a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection. Our surveys provide clear, actionable findings, helping clients identify defects, prioritise remedial works and maintain reliable records as part of their wider fire safety management.
STRUCTURED & CONSISTENT SURVEYS
Six areas assessed during our fire door surveys
Our approach provides a consistent assessment of each fire doorset, recording its condition and identifying issues that could affect its ability to perform as intended.
01
Door Leaf & Frame
Assessment of the overall condition, integrity and alignment of the door leaf and frame, including visible damage or deterioration.
02
Gaps & Alignment
Inspection of gaps around the door and confirmation that the door sits and closes correctly within the frame.
03
Intumescent & Smoke Seals
Review of the presence, condition and continuity of intumescent strips and smoke seals.
04
Hinges & Ironmongery
Assessment of hinges, handles and associated door hardware for condition, suitability and visible defects.
05
Self-Closing Devices
Testing of self-closing mechanisms to establish whether the door closes fully and engages correctly without assistance.
06
Glazing, Apertures & Signage
Inspection of glazing and other openings where present, alongside relevant fire door identification and signage.
This provides housing providers with consistent fire door information across their properties, creating a clear record of condition and highlighting where further action may be required.
FROM INSPECTION TO ACTION
Clear Findings. Clear Priorities.
Our surveys are designed to provide information that clients can actually use.
Rather than simply recording whether a door passes or fails, findings provide a clear picture of identified defects and support housing providers in determining the appropriate next steps.
Survey outputs can support:
- Identification and recording of individual fire door defects
- Prioritisation of remedial repairs and replacement
- Development of planned fire door works programmes
- Maintenance of fire safety and compliance records
- Future maintenance and investment planning
