The riser cupboard on the third floor got a smart new door in the refurb. 🚪
Painted to match, new handle, looks the part.
It's a plain cupboard door.
Quick check on yours 🔍
A label or plug on the top or hinge edge, intumescent strips round the edges, at least three hinges.
A light, hollow leaf with none of those usually isn't a fire door.
Had a refurb touch your risers? We'll check them and fit the right doors, with records to match. ✅

Two screws gone from the top hinge, and the fire door's scraping the floor. 🚪
Refix it and the gaps often come back. Don't plane it.

Cable tray through the plant room wall, fire batt hacked back to fit one more cable. 🧱
Looks sealed from the floor. Up close, it's a gap into the next compartment.

Coat hooks screwed into fire doors rarely make it onto the register. 🔍
Nor do:
✅ painted seals
✅ a new kick plate
✅ a swapped closer

No law gives commercial fire doors an inspection date. Article 17 of the Fire Safety Order still wants them in good repair, and inspection is how you prove it. protestesltd.co.uk/fire-door…
Smooth new ceiling on level 3, and not one access hatch along the ductwork above it. 🔍
The ventilation went in last spring. Air's moving, everyone's happy.
Dampers need a drop test to show they still close. 🔧
No hatch means nobody can reach it, so the test gets skipped and the record just says "no access".
It's Bonfire Night, so fire's on everyone's mind for an evening. 🌙
Good time to ask where your dampers are, and when each one was last reached.

Cracked glass in a fire door's vision panel needs fire-rated glass and matching beads, not whatever pane fits the hole. 🪟

One ceiling tile left out in the corridor looks harmless. 🧱
If the ceiling's part of the fire protection, smoke now has a route into the void.

Double fire doors have faults a single door can't. 🚪
Look for leaves shutting in the wrong order, one sitting proud of the other, or a gap down the middle.

A torn smoke seal on the plant room door went on the inspection report in March. 📋
It's November. Still torn.
That's a common gap: findings that never turn into a closed-out repair. 🔧
An inspection only helps once every defect has an owner, a target date and a photo when it's done.
So our reports are built to be worked through: each door, each defect, a priority, and room for the fix to be signed off. ✅
