Fire door inspections and surveys
Understand the condition of existing fire doors and the action required. Our inspections combine site findings with the evidence available, giving you a clear basis for maintenance, further investigation and remedial planning. Explore fire door inspections.
Independent inspections for contractors
Bring specialist support into your door package before installation or ahead of handover. We review specifications and performance evidence, carry out staged inspections and record verification outcomes for your project team. Explore installation and handover inspections.
Remedial specification and procurement support
Turn inspection findings into technically supported specifications and scopes of work. Give competent contractors a common basis for pricing, with independent advice available to review proposals and verify completed work. Explore specification and consultancy.
Technical due diligence
Obtain specialist fire door advice for an acquisition or wider property review. We assess the agreed sample and available documentation, explain the implications and identify further investigation needed to define the remedial requirements. Discuss technical due diligence.
Independent advice. Control over procurement.
Our role is to establish the technical position and help you make informed choices. We do not sell replacement doors or carry out remedial installation works.
Where further work is required, you can appoint FD to prepare the specification and scope, support contractor selection and review proposed solutions. You remain free to obtain competitive quotations from the open market against the same defined requirements.
We agree the services, deliverables and fees for each stage of the appointment.
Keep the evidence connected
FD’s digital compliance environment links each recorded door to its location, inspection findings and supporting information. Where ongoing support is appointed, it can also connect the specified work, contractor evidence and independent verification outcome.
This gives clients and project teams a clearer view of what remains outstanding, what has been reported as complete and what FD has verified. The record can continue into handover, inspection and maintenance, with access and support agreed for the appointment. Explore fire door compliance management.

Expertise that starts with the specification
Our technical expertise has been developed through careers in door and hardware specification, locking, access control and the interpretation of testing and certification evidence.
That background informs how we assess an installation, investigate a concern and define an appropriate solution. We consider the relationship between the door, its components, its installation and the performance required in that location.
Our team combines technical judgement with organised delivery and clear project records. Meet the FD team.
