Fire door inspection in Telford.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly works in Telford and our team regularly carries out fire door inspections across Telford and the surrounding Shropshire 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.
Shropshire Fire & Rescue is the enforcing authority for Telford and expects fire door inspection records to be maintained and current. Telford & Wrekin Council operates licensing. Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons for residential buildings over 11 metres tall with two or more sets of domestic premises must check common-area fire doors every three months and use best endeavours to check flat entrance doors every year.
Our inspectors cover Telford 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.
