Who can carry out a fire door inspection?

Fire door inspections must only be carried out by a competent person with specialist knowledge and recognised third-party accreditation. The law expects independent, qualified inspectors — not general contractors or maintenance staff. Choosing a provider accredited under BAFE SP205 with UKAS oversight is the most reliable way to secure legal compliance and produce documentation that will withstand scrutiny from fire authorities, insurers and courts. Wyvern Risk Management holds BAFE SP205 accreditation with UKAS backing, alongside SSAIB, FPA, FIA and IFSM memberships.

How much does a fire door inspection cost?

Costs vary depending on the number of fire doors, the property type, its age and location. Wyvern Risk Management provides competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden charges. Contact us on 0800 593 0916 or at info@wyvernriskmanagement.co.uk for a no-obligation quote tailored specifically to your building.

Do I need a fire door inspection for a residential block of flats?

Yes. If your residential building is over 11 metres in height, you are legally required under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 to carry out regular fire door inspections of both communal doors (at least every three months) and flat entrance doors (annually). The Responsible Person — typically the landlord, freeholder or managing agent — is legally accountable for ensuring these inspections are carried out by a competent, accredited inspector.

What happens if my fire doors fail inspection?

Our inspectors will provide a detailed written report clearly identifying all deficiencies and prioritised remedial actions. You can then arrange repairs through a competent fire door contractor. We advise on which issues present the greatest risk so you can address critical failures first, and we can re-inspect following remediation to confirm compliance has been achieved.

Can fire door inspections or fire risk assessments be carried out in occupied buildings?

Yes. Our inspectors and assessors are experienced in working in occupied commercial premises, residential blocks, HMOs, care homes and schools with minimal disruption to staff, tenants and customers. We work flexibly to your schedule and can carry out inspections outside normal business hours where required.

What is the difference between a fire door inspection and a fire risk assessment?

A fire risk assessment is a broad evaluation of all fire hazards, risks and safety measures across your entire premises, required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. A fire door inspection is a specialist, dedicated assessment of individual fire door sets to verify their condition, compliance and correct installation to the required standard. Both are required for most businesses and landlords — they complement each other but are not interchangeable. Wyvern Risk Management provides both services.

How much does a fire risk assessment cost?

Fire risk assessments start from £350 + VAT for straightforward premises. The final cost depends on the size, complexity and occupancy type of your property.
