Question 1

What’s the difference between your 5-point compliance check and a full fire door inspection or survey?

Accepted Answer

The 5-point check is a quicker, lower-cost way to monitor fire doors between full inspections. It focuses on the core performance items like operation, gaps, seals, hardware, signage, and general condition, and records clear findings to support maintenance planning. A full inspection or survey is more detailed and is designed for formal compliance reporting, with comprehensive evidence and a deeper assessment of defects and risk. The 5-point check helps you stay proactive, but it’s not a substitute for a full inspection where you need complete compliance documentation.

Question 2

How much does a fire door inspection cost in London?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a fire door inspection in London can vary based on several factors, including the number of doors to be inspected, the type of property, and the level of detail required in the report. While some services may offer a per-door rate that can range from £10 to £70, it is important to understand the full scope of the service.

At Keepshut London, we provide a comprehensive and transparent pricing structure. For smaller numbers of doors, a minimum attendance fee may apply to cover the certified surveyor’s time and the production of a detailed, evidence-based report with photographic evidence of any non-conformities.

For larger properties or multi-site contracts, we offer competitive per-door rates that decrease with volume. We recommend contacting us directly with your site details or sending your existing Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) for a tailored, no-obligation quote that ensures you receive a fully compliant inspection without hidden costs.

Question 3

What information is included in your fire door inspection report?

Accepted Answer

Our fire door inspection reports are comprehensive, evidence-based documents designed for clarity and audibility. Each report includes a full asset register of the doors inspected, with a unique identifier for each. For every door, we provide detailed observations on all key compliance points, such as gaps, seals, hardware, and operation. Crucially, any non-conformity is documented with clear photographic evidence. The report concludes with prioritised recommendations, giving you a clear action plan to achieve compliance. These reports are suitable for submission to fire risk assessors, local authorities, and insurers.

Question 4

Will your fire door inspection reports stand up to audit or enforcement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our inspection reports are designed to be clear, evidence-based, and suitable for audit by fire risk assessors, enforcing authorities, insurers, and internal compliance teams. Each report includes a full asset register, detailed observations, photographic evidence of non-conformities, and prioritised recommendations. This allows Responsible Persons to demonstrate due diligence and proactive fire safety management.

Question 5

Can inspections be carried out without disrupting occupants or operations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly carry out inspections in occupied buildings including residential blocks, hotels, care homes, and commercial premises. Our engineers work methodically and discreetly, coordinating access with site teams and scheduling works to minimise disruption. For sensitive environments, inspections can be phased or carried out during quieter periods to suit operational needs.

Question 6

Do you inspect both communal doors and flat entrance doors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We inspect communal fire doors and flat entrance doors in line with current legislation and Fire Risk Assessment requirements. For residential buildings over 11 metres, this includes quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks on a best-endeavours basis. Our inspection programmes are structured to help Responsible Persons meet these obligations consistently.
