Fire Door Inspection · Conwy
Fire door inspection
in Conwy.
Heritage buildings. Specialist inspectors.
Professional fire door inspections for listed buildings, heritage premises, hotels, and commercial properties across Conwy. From £14 per door.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out professional fire door inspections for building owners, managing agents, landlords, and facilities managers across Conwy. We are based in Chester — Conwy is a regular part of our working week. Every inspection is carried out by an qualified inspector, producing a clear written report with unique door IDs, photographic evidence, and a prioritised remedial schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the equivalent Welsh fire safety regulations, the responsible person must ensure fire doors in common areas are checked quarterly and flat entrance doors annually. The Building Safety (Wales) Act 2023 adds further obligations around fire door inspection records for multi-occupied residential buildings. A fire door that does not close properly, has worn seals, or has been propped open is not a fire door — it is a gap in your building's passive fire protection.

Conwy fire door context
Conwy's medieval walled town and the listed buildings within and around it present fire door inspection challenges that are genuinely distinct from those of a standard commercial or residential building. Listed building constraints may affect the replacement ironmongery available, the intumescent seal products that can be used, and the door leaf specification that is permissible within conservation requirements. A fire door inspection report for a listed building in Conwy needs to reflect those constraints — identifying what needs to change while acknowledging what the planning and conservation framework allows.
Our inspectors have experience with heritage and listed buildings across the North West and North Wales, including churches, converted industrial premises, and historic commercial properties. We approach Conwy's building stock with specific awareness of the heritage context and produce inspection records that are practically useful to building owners working within conservation constraints, not just technically compliant tick-box documents.
What we inspect
A fire door is only as good as its weakest component. Our inspectors assess each door individually and in full — not just the leaf, but the complete door set including frame, seals, ironmongery, and glazing.

Your inspection report

Summary overview
Total doors surveyed, number requiring action, and a breakdown by priority — Low, Medium, and High. The overall risk picture at a glance.
Door-by-door inspection records
Every door logged under a unique Door ID and location reference. Fire rating, door set type, certification, and a full structured checklist for every component assessed.
Prioritised action statements
Where issues are identified, a specific recommended action, a priority rating, and a plain-language description of what needs correcting — written clearly enough to brief any contractor directly.
Photographic evidence
Photographs supporting findings and highlighting defects. Helps you verify findings, brief contractors accurately, and maintain a clear audit trail for the fire authority, insurer, and Building Safety Regulator.
Building Safety Act documentation: For multi-occupied residential buildings, the Building Safety (Wales) Act 2023 requires fire door inspection records to form part of the golden thread of building information. Our reports are structured to meet that requirement and can be incorporated directly into your building's safety case.
Pricing
All inspections are carried out by qualified fire door inspectors. We agree the scope and price before the visit — no revisions on the day.
For sites with more than 50 doors, inspections may require more than one day. We agree timescales in advance and keep disruption to a minimum. Call 01244 394 244 for a tailored quote on larger portfolios.
Who we work with in Conwy
Fire door inspection obligations vary significantly by building type. Our inspectors understand the specific requirements for each sector.
Managing agents & residential blocks
BSA 2022 compliance — quarterly and annual door checks
Multi-occupied residential buildings in Conwy are subject to the Building Safety (Wales) Act 2023. We produce inspection records that satisfy Welsh BSA obligations alongside the FSO.
HMO landlords
Multi-occupied residential properties
Holiday letting and residential properties in Conwy have fire door obligations regardless of listed status. We inspect and advise on compliant remedial options within heritage building constraints.
Commercial & offices
Offices, retail, and workplace premises
Listed and heritage commercial premises within Conwy's town walls require fire door inspectors who understand conservation constraints and can advise on compliant remedial options that are acceptable to the planning authority.
Care homes & healthcare
CQC and fire authority compliance
Care homes and healthcare premises in Conwy are subject to rigorous fire door standards. Our reports are structured to support CQC inspections, fire authority visits, and planned maintenance programmes.
Fire door inspection and fire risk assessment
A fire risk assessment and a fire door inspection are complementary — and we can carry both out on the same visit, producing separate reports for each. Where a fire risk assessment identifies fire door concerns as a priority action, a dedicated inspection is the logical next step. We coordinate both services to minimise disruption to your building and its occupants.
Where an inspection identifies significant remedial work, we can also deliver fire safety training to your facilities team or building managers — equipping them to carry out their own routine door checks between professional inspections, as required by the equivalent Welsh fire safety regulations.
