How Much Do Fire Door Inspections Cost?

Fire door inspection costs depend on the number of doors, the type of building, and the level of detail required. Here is a guide to what you should expect to pay.

Pricing Factors

Fire door inspection costs are primarily driven by the number of doors to be inspected. Each door requires individual assessment, which takes between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the condition and complexity. Location, access arrangements, and the level of reporting required also affect the price.

Typical Costs

For a small residential building (such as an HMO with 5 to 10 fire doors), inspection costs typically range from £150 to £300. A medium-sized block of flats (20 to 40 doors) might cost between £400 and £800. Larger commercial buildings with 50 or more doors are quoted individually based on the specific requirements.

What Is Included?

A professional fire door inspection should include a visual and physical inspection of each door assembly, a written report with photographs of each door, a pass/fail assessment against the relevant standards, a prioritised schedule of remedial actions, and advice on any immediate safety concerns. Some providers offer additional services such as remedial work quotations or re-inspection after repairs.

The Cost of Not Inspecting

The cost of fire door inspections is modest compared to the potential consequences of non-compliance. Regulatory fines can be substantial, insurance claims may be rejected if fire doors were not maintained, and most importantly, properly maintained fire doors save lives. A fire door that fails to contain a fire because it was not inspected could have devastating consequences.
