Fire Door Inspection · Llandudno
Fire door inspection
in Llandudno.
Large hotel specialists.
Professional fire door inspections for large Victorian hotels, conference venues, guest houses, and residential premises across Llandudno. From £14 per door.
Fletcher Risk Management carries out professional fire door inspections for building owners, managing agents, landlords, and facilities managers across Llandudno. We are based in Chester — Llandudno 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.

Llandudno fire door context
Llandudno's large Victorian seafront hotels — many with 40, 60, or more letting bedrooms, multiple function rooms, basement plant areas, and complex internal layouts developed over more than a century — represent some of the most demanding fire door inspection environments on the North Wales coast. The volume of doors in a large hotel alone requires careful planning and efficient inspection methodology. The building type adds further complexity: non-standard openings, multi-leaf door sets, lobby sets, and heritage ironmongery that may not meet current certification standards are all common findings in Victorian hotel stock.
A fire door inspection report for a large Llandudno hotel is a significant document — potentially covering 100 or more individual doors, each with a unique Door ID, a full component assessment, and a prioritised remedial action. We have the capacity and the methodology to carry out large-scale hotel inspections efficiently, minimising disruption to guests and operations while producing the comprehensive records that the fire authority and the hotel's insurer expect to see.
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.
Door leaf & frame
- Leaf condition and alignment
- Frame integrity and fixing
- Gaps to sides, head, and threshold
- Fire rating (FD30 / FD30S etc.)
- Certification labels present
Seals & glazing
- Intumescent seal condition
- Smoke seal condition
- Glazing and vision panels
- Glazing beads and fixings
- Cold smoke leakage path
Ironmongery & hardware
- Hinges — number, condition, suitability
- Door closer operation and force
- Locks, latches, and keep plates
- Hold-open devices and releases
- Overhead closers and floor springs
Compliance & records
- Fire door signage
- Unique Door ID assigned
- Photographic evidence recorded
- Priority rating assigned
- Remedial action specified
Your inspection report
Every inspection produces a professionally presented report structured for building managers, maintenance teams, and contractors.
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 Llandudno
Fire door inspection obligations vary significantly by building type. Our inspectors understand the specific requirements for each sector.

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.
