Act on your fire risk assessment
A fire door risk assessment in London turns the door notes in your fire risk assessment into a clear plan. We check each named door, rank every fault and tell you what to fix first.
Fire door risk assessments explained
A fire door risk assessment looks closely at the fire doors in a building and rates the risk each one poses. It focuses on doors only.
It is not the same as your main fire risk assessment. That covers the whole building. Ours goes deeper on the doors it flags.
Fire risk assessors often note doors that look damaged, wedged open or missing closers. They rarely have time to check each door in detail.
That leaves you with a list of concerns but no clear plan. We fill that gap, door by door, and can carry out the fire door remedial works as well.
Managing agents, freeholders, employers and landlords. Anyone who has been told to act on fire door findings.
As a fire door specialist, we work alongside your fire risk assessor. Our report shows the actions you took, ready for their next review.
What we assess
We look at each door in the context of the building. A small fault on an escape stair matters more than the same fault on a store room.
Escape routes, stairs and flat entrances get the highest weight.
Doors that do not shut on their own are a top priority.
Wide gaps or damaged seals let smoke spread early.
Holes, cat flaps and DIY alterations are assessed for risk.
Doors with no label or paperwork are flagged.
Sleeping residents and care home users raise the rating.

Shared kitchens and bedroom doors where tenants sleep. Common council findings covered.

A weak or broken closer, or a door rubbing on its frame.
No label, plug or paperwork to prove what the door is.
Gaps wider than 4 mm at the head or sides.
Strips torn out or covered by decorators.
Holes, splits or old lock cut-outs that weaken the door.

What people ask when their fire risk assessment flags the doors.
Usually £30–£70 per door assessed, with a minimum fee of £350–£650 per building, before VAT. The repairs or new doors it recommends are priced separately. Larger buildings cost less per door, as more doors can be assessed in one visit. You get a fixed price before we come out.
No. A fire risk assessment covers the whole building. A fire door risk assessment looks only at the doors, in much more detail, and ranks what to fix first. Most buildings need both. The fire risk assessment flags the problem, and the fire door risk assessment shows exactly how to fix it.
If your fire risk assessment has flagged fire doors, you need a plan to deal with them. A fire door risk assessment gives you that plan, with prices, in a form your assessor can review.
The Responsible Person, such as the landlord, managing agent or employer. They must act on the findings of the fire risk assessment, including any door issues. The Responsible Person can ask a specialist to carry out the work, but they remain responsible for making sure it is done. Keep records of every action taken.
It usually means some doors are not up to standard. Some can be put right with fire door repairs such as new seals, closers or hinges. Others need replacing. A door-by-door check tells you which. Upgrading can also mean adding smoke seals, fitting closers or changing glazing. We price each option so you can choose the most cost-effective fix.
We look at the fault, where the door is and who could be harmed. A door on an escape stair in a block of flats ranks higher than a store room door.
As soon as possible. Doors that will not close, or have large gaps on an escape route, should be fixed within days, not months. Regular fire door inspections stop the same risks coming back. Medium and low risks can be planned over a longer time, but should still have a date set. Your fire risk assessor may give deadlines for each action.
No. We specialise in fire doors. We work alongside your fire risk assessor and give them the evidence they need. If you do not have a fire risk assessment yet, you will need one first. We can then follow up on any door findings it makes.
