Fire Door Inspections Leeds

In any building, fire safety is paramount, and fire doors play a crucial role in protecting both property and lives. In Leeds, as in the rest of the UK, fire door inspections are a legal requirement to ensure that fire doors meet the necessary standards and are in optimal condition to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. Whether it’s a residential building or a commercial property, ensuring your fire doors are correctly installed, maintained, and inspected is vital for fire protection.

At Yeoman Shield, we understand the importance of having our Fire Accreditation Scheme (FIRAS) qualified fire door inspectors provide a full fire risk assessment of your premises, and to ensure the safety of everyone who uses the premises.

Why are fire door inspections in Leeds important?

Fire door inspections are essential for maintaining the safety of a building’s occupants and ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations. Fire doors are designed to withstand fire for a specific period, typically 30 to 60 minutes, which is crucial for a safe evacuation during a fire. However, for fire doors to perform effectively, they must be properly maintained and inspected regularly.

In Leeds, fire door inspections are part of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which mandates that fire doors in all non-domestic premises be regularly checked to ensure they function correctly. Regular inspections help identify potential issues that could compromise fire safety, such as gaps in the door frame, faulty seals, or damaged components.

What does a fire door inspection involve?

A fire door inspection is a detailed process that requires in-depth knowledge of fire doors and their components. The inspection typically includes:

• Checking the Door and Frame: Ensuring the door fits properly within its frame and that there are no visible signs of fire damage or warping.
• Inspecting the Seals: Fire doors have intumescent seals that expand when exposed to heat, preventing the spread of smoke and fire. The inspection checks that these seals are intact and properly fitted.
• Assessing the Hinges and Closures: The hinges and automatic closing mechanisms must function correctly to ensure the door closes fully during a fire.
• Evaluating the Glazing: If the door has a glass panel, it must be fire-resistant and free from cracks or damage.
• Checking the Gaps: The gaps around the door should be within the acceptable range, typically 3-4mm, to prevent the spread of fire.

After the inspection, a report is generated detailing the condition of each fire door and any potential issues that need to be addressed. Once the reports have been completed, we will provide a free quote for the work that needs to be completed.

In addition to inspections, proper fire door installation and maintenance services are crucial. Leeds fire doors must be installed by professionals who understand the specific requirements for fire safety and compliance. At Yeoman Shield, we know that the incorrect installation can render a fire door ineffective, putting the entire building and its occupants at risk.
