Fire Door Surveys
Ensure your fire doors are compliant and function with professional fire door surveys from Focus 360 Energy.
What is a Fire Door Survey?
A fire door survey is a specialist inspection of doors designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke. These surveys assess whether each fire door meets current standards and is performing its life-saving function.
Focus 360 Energy provides detailed fire door surveys for commercial, residential, and public sector buildings across the UK. We work with property managers, developers, housing associations, and duty holders to ensure every fire door in your building is safe, compliant, and properly maintained.
Why Fire Door Compliance Matters
Fire doors are a crucial part of a building’s passive fire protection system. When correctly installed and maintained, they help compartmentalise buildings and allow for safe evacuation. However, poorly fitted, damaged, or uncertified fire doors can fail in minutes, leading to rapid fire and smoke spread.
Under the Fire Safety Order 2005 and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons have a legal duty to ensure that fire doors are routinely checked and maintained, especially in multi-occupancy residential and high-risk buildings.
Who Needs a Fire Door Survey?
- Building owners and landlords
- Facilities and estates managers
- Housing associations
- Developers seeking handover certification
- Fire risk assessors seeking technical validation
- Duty holders under the Fire Safety Order
Any building with communal areas or multiple tenancies (e.g. HMOs, flats, schools, healthcare settings, offices, or warehouses) will likely require documented evidence of fire door inspections.

Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 – What Changed?
From January 2023, the regulations introduced new duties around fire door checks, particularly for residential buildings over 11 metres:
- Communal fire doors must be checked quarterly
- Flat entrance doors must be checked annually
Focus 360 Energy’s surveys are designed to help you meet these obligations and provide written evidence to managing agents, tenants, and enforcement authorities.
