Fire Door Installation and Survey
Fire-door installation to the specified tested doorset and system, plus inspection and survey against current standards, with a documented register for every door.
Door by door, not a walk-through.
Fire door compliance you can stand behind.
A fire door only works if every element of it is correct: the leaf, the frame, the seals, the glazing, the ironmongery and the gap tolerances. DefendX surveys each door against its rated specification and logs exactly what is wrong and where.
Findings come back as a costed, prioritised action plan, and DefendX can carry out the installation or remediation directly, so the same team that found the defect fixes it.
DefendX installs and surveys fire doors to current Building Safety Act and Approved Document B requirements, checking leaf, frame, seals, glazing, ironmongery and signage against the door's rated specification, with defects logged and costed for remediation.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does a fire-door inspection check?
A survey checks the leaf, frame, seals, glazing, ironmongery and signage of each door against its rated specification, following a consistent door-by-door checklist rather than a general walk-through.
Can a damaged fire door be repaired?
In many cases, yes. Repair or replacement is decided from the survey findings, based on the extent of the damage and whether the door can be brought back to its rated specification.
When does a fire door need replacement?
Replacement is typically needed where the damage or wear means the door can no longer be repaired to meet its rated specification. This is assessed door by door rather than assumed for an entire building.
What records are provided after inspection or remedial work?
Each door receives its own condition record with photographic evidence, referenced to a door number and floor plan, feeding into a costed action plan for any remedial work identified.
Can door surveys cover a whole estate?
Yes. Surveys can be scoped across a single building or a full portfolio, with each door individually referenced within the wider programme.
