Our fire door inspection report
By Sebastian Grabowski, DC Fire & Security, Luton. Updated October 2026.
What does our fire door inspection report look like?
This is a demo of the report you get from a DC Fire & Security fire door inspection. The building and the findings are examples. The layout, the checks and the kind of photos are exactly what every one of our reports contains.
A report you can actually read
A lot of fire door reports are long lists of codes and tick boxes that only another inspector can follow. Ours are written for the person who has to act on them: a managing agent, a school business manager or a landlord.
- Page one gives the overall result: how many doors passed, how many need work and what to do first
- Every fault has a priority and a deadline: high priority within 14 days, the rest within 3 months
- One action register lists every job in order, so you can hand it straight to a contractor or send it to us to price
- Each door gets its own page with photos, the measured gaps in millimetres and a clear pass or fail on each check
- Every action says which standard it comes from, so your fire risk assessor and insurer can see why it matters
What it costs
Fire door inspections start from £250 + VAT, and larger buildings are priced on the number of doors. If any doors fail, we price the repairs door by door from the report, usually the same day. See fire door inspections and fire door repairs.
Already have a report from someone else?
Send it to info@dcsecurity.co.uk with photos of the doors and we will price the repairs from it. You do not need to start again with a new inspection.
Where we inspect
We are based in Luton and inspect fire doors across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and London. Since September 2025 we have carried out more than 700 fire door inspections.
Certified work, with the paperwork to prove it
Inspections follow BS 8214 and the government's fire door guidance. Repairs and new doorsets that need a third-party certificate are done by our BM TRADA Q-Mark certificated contractors, and fire stopping by our FIRAS-certificated contractors. Every job ends with photos and a report for your fire safety file.
