How the Tools Help

Use them to sort your observations and decide whether a formal inspection is worth requesting — they are planning aids, not compliance tests. They do not replace a professional fire door inspection or fire risk assessment.

  • Organise observations before contacting an inspector
  • Understand visible issue categories and defect guide options
  • Prepare better quote information such as concerns, door context and location
  • Support internal record keeping and follow-up planning
  • Decide sensible next steps without guessing compliance status
  • Review whether a professional inspection may be useful based on what you know

FAQ

Fire Door Tools Questions

Clear answers about what the tools do — and what they do not do.

Are these fire door tools free to use?
Yes. The tools are free to use and provide general guidance based on the information selected by the user.
Do the tools confirm fire door compliance?
No. The tools do not confirm compliance, replace a professional inspection, or certify any fire door.
Can these tools replace a professional fire door inspection?
No. A professional fire door inspection involves an on-site review and formal reporting. These tools are only a guidance aid.
Which tool should I use first?
Use the Readiness Checker if you want to review general inspection readiness. Use the Defect Identifier if you have noticed a specific visible issue.
Can I use the tools before requesting a quote?
Yes. They can help you organise information before requesting a quote, but the quote should still be based on the actual site, door numbers and inspection scope.
What if I already have a fire door report?
If a report already lists defects, review the remedial works and re-inspection guidance, or contact us to discuss next steps.
Can the Defect Identifier tell me if a door has failed?
No. It does not pass or fail doors. It helps match visible concerns with general guidance and next-step options.
Do I still need a fire risk assessment?
These tools do not replace a fire risk assessment. Fire risk assessment duties and professional inspection requirements should be considered separately.
