A consistent fire door inspection and maintenance schedule helps make sure your fire doors perform as intended, if the worst were to ever happen. They are a foundational component for the protection of life and property. UK regulations typically require regular checks for communal fire doors, often quarterly, along with annual inspections for flat entrances and multi-occupied residences. Consistent servicing is the primary way to make sure the door’s frame, seals, leaf and other hardware are all in sufficient condition to keep escape routes secure and compliant.
For countless properties in the UK, responsible parties need to have regular inspections as a demonstration of due diligence under fire safety law. Quarterly checks of all communal fire doors in all buildings over 11m tall are typical, with annual checks being mandated. These are only a general guideline, though, and doors in higher-use areas or that are exposed to harsher environments may need more frequent inspections.
During each inspection, our accredited technicians will assess the condition of the door leaf for signs of stress, splits, cracks or warping. They’ll evaluate frame fixings and intumescent strip placement, verify that perimeter gaps meet the 3 to 4 millimetre tolerance, and make sure the smoke seals are still intact.
Additional checks of critical hardware verify that components like hinges, latches and closers all operate smoothly and within specification. Finally, we’ll double-check that the fire-door signage and glazed panels are inspected for the correct fitting and fire rating.
With each visit, we’ll issue a detailed report recording the date of the inspection, the locations of each door inspected, the pass/fail determination for each component, and any additional remedial work done. In the event of defects or repairs, the report details will include photos along with recommendations for the next inspection interval.

Have used Cleanair before to do our kitchen deep clean and were very impressed with their work so asked them to replace our duct for the kitchen extraction. Arrived on time, done the work quickly and efficiently which allowed our kitchen team to carry on with their prep work. I highly recommend them.
We got VIP treatment as a local business – all queries were answered professionally and the work itself was fast and clean – no mess left on site. A refreshing attitude! Thanks to the team!
Looking for companies for the cleaning and servicing of my kitchen canopy and ducts I found, via Google, overpriced local traders. I am so glad I looked on the BESA website and came across Clean Air Ltd. The lads you sent round were polite and did a good job. I was so confident in your pricing and work I recommended Clean Air to my church for their kitchen work. God Bless you all.
A huge thank you to the staff at CleanAir UK who have done the most fantastic job cleaning our kitchen this year. They were prompt, polite, helpful, friendly and amazingly efficient. The kitchen is sparkling and we are thrilled with the results. We will definitely be asking them back next year…
