Fire Door Inspections in Shoreham-by-Sea & Hove
Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons in buildings over 11 metres must carry out quarterly checks on fire doors in communal areas and annual checks on flat entrance doors. We carry out fire door inspection in Shoreham-by-Sea, Hove, Worthing and Lancing, and give you the written evidence a fire officer will ask for.
What Each Inspection Covers
- Gaps and clearances — measured against the certified tolerance for the doorset, not judged by eye
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals — continuity, condition and correct fitting
- Hinges and ironmongery — correct number, correctly rated, every screw present
- Self-closing devices — tested to close and latch fully from any opening angle
- Glazing and beads — correct specification and fixing method
- Leaf and frame condition — damage, warping and unauthorised alterations
What You Get
A written report for every door, with photographs, a clear pass or fail, and a costed remediation list for anything that fails. Where remediation is needed we carry it out ourselves — same team, no second contractor to chase and no gap in your records.

Maintenance, Repairs & Remedial Work
Fire doors are subject to heavy use. We offer scheduled maintenance to ensure that closers work perfectly and seals remain intact, preventing costly replacements in the future.
Replacement & Upgrades When Doors Fail Inspection
If your existing doors fail inspection, we handle everything from minor structural adjustments to the supply and precision installation of new certified fire doors. We work only with certified components — closers, hinges, intumescent strips and glazing — so your property stays compliant, secure and ready for any fire risk assessment.
Your Legal Responsibility as a Building Owner
As a property owner or manager, you are legally responsible for the fire safety of your building. A fire door is a critical life-safety device, designed to hold back smoke and flames for a specific period (usually 30 or 60 minutes). However, even the highest quality door will fail if it isn’t installed correctly.
Our fire door installation across Shoreham, Hove and Sussex ensures that every component—from intumescent seals to fire-rated hinges and self-closing devices—is fitted to exact specifications, in line with current UK building regulations.
7 Comprehensive Services We Offer:
- FD30 & FD60 Installation: Precision fitting of fire-rated doors.

Fire Door Compliance for Landlords, HMOs & Managing Agents
Meeting the UK’s fire safety regulations isn’t just about fitting a door — it’s about legal compliance and protecting lives. Domuss provides safety surveys, routine maintenance and official compliance logging for landlords, businesses and HMO managers across Shoreham, Hove, Worthing and Sussex. From single-property checks to full building audits, we make sure every asset meets its requirements.
Professional Standards and Compliance
Our fire door work follows British Standard BS 8214, the code of practice for timber fire door assemblies. Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons for multi-occupied residential buildings must carry out regular fire door checks — quarterly checks of communal fire doors in buildings over 11 metres and annual checks of flat entrance doors. With fire-safety duties tightening further from 6 April 2026, getting your doors surveyed and logged now keeps landlords and managing agents in Shoreham, Hove and Worthing ahead of enforcement.
Fire Door Services in Shoreham & Hove: FAQs
How often should fire doors be inspected?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, responsible persons in buildings over 11 metres must check fire doors in communal areas quarterly, and make best endeavours to check flat entrance doors annually. Below that height, and in commercial premises, six-monthly checks are the widely accepted standard — more often in high-traffic buildings such as hotels, schools and HMOs.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD60 fire doors?
The main difference is the duration of fire resistance. An FD30 door offers 30 minutes of protection, while an FD60 door provides 60 minutes. The choice depends on the type of building and its specific fire safety strategy. As part of our team, we can help you determine the correct rating for each area of your property.
Do I need a professional for fire door installation?
Yes. A fire door is only effective if it is installed with the correct intumescent seals, fire-rated hinges, and certified frames. Improper installation can lead to legal liability and, more importantly, put lives at risk. Choosing professional team ensures that the installation meets all BS 8214 standards.
Can a fire door be repaired?
In many cases, yes. If the door leaf is intact but the seals are damaged or the closer is faulty, our technicians can perform repairs to bring the door back to full compliance without the cost of a full replacement.
