What the law says:

​

Article 17 of the Fire Safety Order (FSO) makes it a legal requirement to ensure that fire resisting and escape doors are correctly installed and are adequately maintained to ensure they are fit for purpose. The building responsible person needs to ensure the doors are inspected by a competent person as referenced in the FSO to help them comply with fire door regulations.

​

Fire doors play a major part in ensuring there is a safe evacuation path for persons to escape to safety in the event of a fire in the premises. They should be considered exactly the same as other fire safety protection such as alarms and extinguishers when it comes to inspection and maintenance.

How can FAST help? 

​​

FAST can provide you with a qualified inspector to complete an inspection of your doors and provide you with a documented report highlighting the condition and recommended remedial action if the door fails its test.

​

Our inspectors are trained by the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) which is a certified and audited scheme set up by the British Woodworking Federation and the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers to ensure competency of fire door inspectors.

​

We pride ourselves on transparent pricing, FAST response and excellent customer service so please contact us for a free quotation whether you just need a one off inspection and report or wish to arrange an annual door inspection to meet your obligations under the FSO.
