Our Process
How Our Re-Inspection Process Works
From reviewing the original report to updated follow-up notes — based on visible conditions at the time of the visit.
- 01
Review the original report or defect list
We review your original fire door report, defect notes or remedial completion information based on the information provided.
- 02
Confirm which doors need follow-up
Door references, locations and previously recorded issues are confirmed so the re-inspection focuses on the right door sets.

Check visible condition of corrected items
During the follow-up visit, previously noted items are checked based on what is visible at the time of re-inspection.
- 04
Record photo evidence where appropriate
Photographs may be captured where appropriate to support updated observations and internal records.
- 05
Note whether issues appear addressed
Where visible on site, previous concerns may appear addressed — subject to what can be observed during the follow-up visit.
- 06
Highlight remaining visible concerns
Any remaining visible issues are noted where observed so property teams can plan further action if needed.

Provide updated notes where appropriate

- It does not confirm hidden construction, concealed components, or original door certification unless evidence is available.
- It does not automatically approve third-party remedial workmanship.
- Further works may still be required if visible issues remain.
