Fire Door Inspections & Remedial Works

Fire door checks, specialist inspections and coordinated repairs for buildings across London.

Bigness Built Environment helps property owners and managing agents organise fire door inspections and resolve identified defects.

Whether you need scheduled checks, a specialist condition survey or remedial works following an existing report, we provide one point of coordination for access, contractors and completion records.

What We Can Help With

Depending on your building and requirements, we can arrange:

• Checks of communal and flat entrance fire doors.
• Specialist inspections of doors, frames and associated components.
• Door schedules and records of identified defects.
• Adjustment or replacement of suitable hinges, closers and hardware.
• Repairs to doors, frames and seals where technically appropriate.
• Replacement doorsets where recommended by the relevant specialist.
• Follow-up checks and supporting completion documentation.

We confirm whether you need routine visual and functional checks or a more detailed specialist inspection before quoting.

What the Inspection Covers

Within the agreed scope, checks may include:

• Visible damage to the door leaf and frame.
• Door alignment, fit and surrounding gaps.
• Operation of self-closing devices.
• Hinges, latches and other relevant hardware.
• Condition of seals where fitted.
• Glazing and visible alterations.
• Obstructions or defects preventing the door from closing properly.

Where the suitability or fire performance of a doorset is uncertain, further specialist assessment may be required.

Repairs Based on the Findings

A defect does not automatically mean the entire door needs replacing.

The appropriate specialist determines whether adjustment, repair, upgrading or replacement is suitable, taking account of the door’s construction, available evidence and the building’s fire risk assessment.

Bigness helps obtain a clear remedial scope and quotation, with suitable components and repair methods specified by the competent contractor.

Coordinate Access and Delivery

Fire door work can involve communal areas, occupied flats and several appointments.

We coordinate access with the client, residents or site team, record any doors that could not be inspected and organise follow-up attendance.

Where replacement is approved, we help coordinate the installation programme and collect the relevant product and installation documentation.

From Defect to Documented Completion

Our support can include:

• Recording defects against individual door locations or identifiers.
• Tracking priorities assigned by the inspecting specialist.
• Obtaining quotations for client approval.
• Arranging competent contractors for approved works.
• Collecting completion records and photographs where included.
• Arranging follow-up inspection or specialist verification where required.

The appointed specialist remains responsible for technical findings, repair suitability and any technical confirmation they provide.

What You Receive

Depending on the agreed service, you receive an inspection record or specialist report identifying the doors assessed, findings, access limitations and recommended actions.

Where remedial works are included, we also organise the relevant completion evidence and update the action record to show what has been resolved and what remains outstanding.

Repairs, replacement components and additional investigations are quoted separately unless included in the agreed scope.
