North Yorkshire
Fire doors are the single most commonly failed element of passive fire protection. We inspect and record every door against current guidance and give you a door-by-door schedule with photographs, a clear pass or fail, and prioritised remedial actions.
In York the fire door question is frequently a conservation question. Original doors in listed buildings often cannot simply be replaced, and the realistic route is upgrading in place — intumescent seals, hinge upgrades, appropriate closers — while recording the residual limitations honestly. We assess what the door will actually do and set out the options, rather than issuing a blanket fail on every historic door in the building.

York is comfortably within our working area, and it is a city where fire risk assessment genuinely requires a different approach.
A written report you can hand straight to an enforcing officer, your insurer, your landlord or your client — branded, photographed and dated, with every finding given a priority rating and a realistic timescale.
We talk you through it afterwards. A report you don’t understand is a report you won’t action.

Explore retainersUnder the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons for relevant residential buildings above 11 metres must carry out quarterly checks of communal fire doors and make best endeavours to check flat entrance doors annually. Outside that scope, frequency is driven by your fire risk assessment — typically annually, and more often in high-traffic settings like schools, care homes and busy offices.
Yes. We work across York city centre and the Bar Walls area, Clifton Moor, Monks Cross, Fulford, Layerthorpe and Poppleton. York is comfortably within our working area, and it is a city where fire risk assessment genuinely requires a different approach.
We inspect and report. We don't fit, repair or supply doors, which means the inspection findings are impartial — there's no commercial incentive for us to fail a door. We're happy to review a contractor's quote against our findings if that helps you.
The schedule tells you exactly what failed and why, with a priority rating. Many failures are cheap fixes — a replacement closer, re-fitting a seal, correcting a gap. We separate the genuinely urgent from the housekeeping so you can budget sensibly.
Yes, and it's usually the most cost-effective way to do it. The fire risk assessment considers doors at a strategic level; the door inspection gives you the individual evidence record to sit behind it.
Not necessarily — existing doors can often be assessed as satisfactory for their purpose without third-party certification, particularly in older buildings. What matters is whether the door will do its job. We'll tell you when a door genuinely needs replacing and when it doesn't.
Tell us a little about the building and we’ll come back with a fixed price. No obligation, no sales call, no pressure.
