Fire Door Inspections
Independent, accredited inspections from £15 + VAT per door
Following post‑Grenfell regulatory change, fire door inspection, reporting and record‑keeping have come under increasing scrutiny. POD’s Technical Services team delivers an independent, accredited, evidence‑led fire door inspection service - designed to give asset owners and operators control, visibility and confidence, supported by a seamless digital system for tracking fire door assets and inspection history.
Certified By
Our inspectors work within a robust governance framework, supported by third‑party accreditation and professional body membership.
Did you know?
75% of fire doors fail inspections.
Common issues include excessive gaps, damaged seals, faulty closers, and incorrect hardware - any of which could compromise safety in an emergency.
With such a high failure rate, a consistent inspection approach is essential. Our fire door inspection services help identify risks early, provide clear reporting, and support ongoing compliance.
Our Fire Door Inspection Services
-
We create a digital asset record for each fire door and apply a non‑intrusive QR tag. This provides instant access to the door’s asset record, inspection history and compliance information - supporting Golden Thread‑ready record‑keeping.
-
Our qualified inspectors complete a detailed 10‑stage inspection process with 60+ checks per door, aligned to the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) and relevant British Standards, ensuring consistent, defensible inspection outcomes.
-
All defects are logged with photographic or video evidence and stored securely in our digital management system. For each issue, we provide an independent recommended repair approach, enabling third‑party contractors to quote accurately without extra cost.
