Fire door inspection in Burnley.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly works in Burnley and our team regularly carries out fire door inspections across Burnley and the surrounding Lancashire area.
Fire doors are the most commonly degraded passive fire protection element in non-domestic premises. Missing or damaged intumescent seals, hinges replaced with non-fire-rated components, self-closers removed for convenience, and gaps that have opened through building movement — these deficiencies are consistently found during fire authority audits across all building types. Without a documented inspection programme, the responsible person has no reliable basis for asserting that their fire doors are performing as required.
Lancashire Fire & Rescue is the enforcing authority for Burnley and expects fire door inspection records to be maintained and current. Burnley Council operates licensing. Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons for residential buildings with two or more sets of domestic premises must carry out quarterly common-area checks and annual flat entrance door inspections.
Our inspectors cover Burnley regularly from our Chester base and produce door-by-door reports with unique Door IDs, photographic evidence of every component assessed, and a prioritised remedial schedule.

Fire door inspection can often be combined with a fire risk assessment on the same visit — reducing disruption and cost. Our inspectors assess every component of every door: leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closer, gaps, glazing, signage, and hardware.
Every component. Every door. Every time.
01 — Door leaf & frame
Condition, fit, and structural integrity
The door leaf and frame assessed for damage, warping, and structural integrity. Every gap measured against required tolerances.
02 — Intumescent seals
Presence, condition, and continuity
Intumescent seals checked for presence on all required edges, condition, continuity, and correct specification for the door type.
03 — Cold smoke seals
Required on doors protecting escape routes
Cold smoke seals checked on all doors where required — particularly those on escape routes and in residential buildings.
04 — Hinges
Type, certification, and condition
Hinges checked for correct type — fire-rated, correct number for the door weight — and condition. Non-fire-rated replacements are a common degradation pathway.
05 — Self-closer
Presence, function, and adjustment
Self-closer checked for presence, correct function, and adjustment — the door must close fully and latch without manual assistance from any open position.
06 — Glazing, signage & hardware
Certification, condition, and completeness
Any glazing checked for fire-rated specification. Signage checked for presence and legibility. All hardware assessed for condition and fire-rated specification.
Every building type has its own fire door obligations.

Fire door inspections in Burnley — your questions answered.
How much does a fire door inspection cost in Burnley?
From £14 per door, fixed price before the visit. Call 01244 394 244 to discuss your building and get a fixed quote.
What does the fire door inspection report include?
A door-by-door written report with a unique Door ID for every door, photographic evidence of every component assessed, a finding for each component, and a prioritised remedial schedule.
How often should fire doors be inspected in Burnley?
Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, quarterly checks are required for common-area fire doors in residential buildings with two or more sets of domestic premises, and annual checks for flat entrance doors. Other premises should inspect proportionate to risk.
Can fire door inspection be combined with a fire risk assessment?
Yes — and we recommend it. Carrying out both on the same visit reduces disruption and cost. A fire risk assessment identifies fire door concerns at building level; the inspection assesses every door at component level.
Do you cover other fire safety services in Burnley?
Yes — alongside fire door inspection we offer fire risk assessments, fire safety training, fire evacuation plans, fire safety policies, and evacuation chair training.
We also cover the areas surrounding Burnley.
Alongside Burnley, our team covers Blackburn, Rochdale, Bolton as part of our regular North West and North Wales operation.
