Commercial & Industrial Buildings
Comprehensive fire door inspections for offices, warehouses, retail units, and industrial premises across the UK.
Fire Door Compliance for Commercial Premises
All commercial and industrial premises are subject to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person has a legal duty to ensure that fire safety measures, including fire doors, are properly maintained and regularly inspected.
In commercial and industrial environments, fire doors are often subject to heavy use and can deteriorate rapidly. Warehouse and industrial settings present particular challenges, with doors frequently damaged by forklift trucks, goods vehicles, and general operational activity.
Guardian Fire Door Inspection provides accredited fire door surveys for a wide range of commercial and industrial premises. Our detailed inspection reports provide building owners, managing agents, and facilities managers with the evidence they need to demonstrate compliance.

Your Legal Obligations
Failure to maintain fire doors in commercial premises can result in enforcement action by the Fire and Rescue Authority, including Enforcement Notices, Prohibition Notices, and — in serious cases — prosecution with unlimited fines and imprisonment.
Fire Risk Assessment
The RRO 2005 requires a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment to be carried out and regularly reviewed. Fire door condition must be considered as part of this assessment.
Maintenance Records
Records of fire door inspections and maintenance must be kept and made available to the Fire and Rescue Authority on request.
Competent Persons
Inspections must be carried out by persons with sufficient training, experience, and knowledge to identify defects and assess their significance.
Remedial Action
Defects identified during inspection must be addressed within a reasonable timeframe, with priority given to issues that pose an immediate risk.
