PGEG Fire Door Inspections
The services provided by PGEG Fire Door Inspections encompass a range of comprehensive tests aimed at ensuring the effectiveness, compliance, and proper functioning of fire doors in line with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Our specialist team of fire door inspectors help you to ensure fire door safety compliance by thoroughly testing the various components and mechanisms of each individual fire door involved in the fire door inspection, including the following aspects of fire door safety:
Fire Resistance
Fire doors are constructed using materials that have been tested and certified to withstand fire for a specified period, typically ranging from 20 minutes to several hours, depending on the building codes and regulations.
Smoke Seals
In addition to resisting fire, fire doors are equipped with smoke seals around the edges to prevent the passage of smoke from one area to another. This helps maintain visibility and provides safe evacuation routes during a fire.
Self Closing Door Mechanism
Fire doors are usually equipped with self-closing devices such as door closers or spring hinges to ensure that they automatically close and latch in the event of a fire, even if left open.
Fire Rated Hardware
The hardware used on fire doors, such as self-closers, hinges, locks and handles, must also be fire-rated to maintain the integrity of the door assembly. All components of fire door hardware must be maintained regularly to ensure they are fit for purpose to ensure compliance.
Fire Door Information
Fire doors are often labelled with markings, information and/or signage indicating their fire rating, manufacturer information, and other relevant details to ensure proper identification and fit for purpose. Information relating to the type of door is noted in the report.
Fire Door Signage
This is an important aspect of fire safety and building code compliance. Signs may include usage instructions, such as “Keep Closed” or “Do Not Block,” to remind occupants of the importance of keeping fire doors closed and unobstructed at all times, except during emergency egress.

Fire Door Maintenance and Remedial Repairs
Fire door maintenance is a critical aspect of building management, as well as being a statutory, legal requirement for all businesses. In the event that a fire door inspection report identifies non-compliance with fire door safety, PGEG Fire Door Inspections can assist with remedial repairs to address and fix any issues. This may be as simple as replacing intumescent seals or fire door hardware, or where a repair will not ensure compliance, we can arrange for brand new fire doors to be installed.
