Professional Fire Door Inspections for Leisure Centres

Fire doors can help restrict the spread of fire and smoke and protect escape routes within busy public buildings. High visitor numbers, intensive use and movement of equipment can also contribute to damage and deterioration.

The appropriate inspection frequency should reflect the building, how it is used and the level of traffic, wear and potential damage experienced by individual doors. Frequently used doors may require more regular attention.

Our inspectors examine door leaves and frames, hinges, latches, locks, self-closing devices, intumescent and smoke seals, gaps, glazing and other relevant components. We also assess the overall condition and operation of each door.

Fire doors may be located around sports halls, swimming pools, changing facilities, fitness studios, reception areas, offices, storage rooms, plant rooms, cafés and circulation routes. The inspection scope can be tailored to the premises.

Persistent exposure to damp or humid conditions can contribute to deterioration of certain door materials and components. Fire doors in areas such as swimming pools and changing facilities should therefore be monitored as part of an appropriate inspection and maintenance regime.

The defect will be documented within the inspection report alongside a recommendation for appropriate remedial action. Depending on its nature, this may involve adjustment, repair, replacement of components or replacement of the door assembly.
