Why it matters
Why this matters
Statutory inspection frequency
Communal fire doors in residential buildings over 11m must be inspected at least quarterly.
Most defects are repairable
Honest inspection avoids unnecessary replacement — we recommend remediation wherever certified performance can be restored.
Defensible evidence
Photographic, time-stamped reports are the evidence enforcing authorities expect to see.
