Independent Fire Door Inspectors in London & the South East

Fire door inspections are just one part of a wider fire strategy, but they play a crucial role in understanding whether a building’s passive fire protection measures are performing as intended.

In London and the South East, many organisations now choose to work with independent fire door inspectors rather than relying solely on installers or maintenance contractors. This approach can provide greater clarity, transparency and confidence in your decision-making.

Independent Inspection vs. Remedial Works

When inspections and remedial works are carried out by the same organisation, it can be harder to demonstrate independence and avoid potential conflicts of interest. An independent inspection gives you a separate view of door condition before you engage contractors to carry out repairs or replacements.

At Goldcrest Fire Doors, our role is to inspect and report. We do not use inspections as a sales channel for remedial works, which helps clients across London and the South East feel confident that recommendations are based on risk and compliance, not product sales.

Supporting Fire Risk Assessments and Strategies

Fire risk assessors and strategy consultants often need accurate data on fire doors to complete their work effectively. Independent fire door inspection reports can provide:

• Verified locations and quantities of fire doors across a building or estate
• Clear defect descriptions with photographs
• Risk-based priorities to support action plans
• Evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of previous remedial works

This information can then be referenced in your fire risk assessments and used to inform future investment decisions.
