Fire Door Inspections in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire & Che

At DMB Services (Staffs) Ltd, we carry out professional fire door inspections to ensure that doors perform as intended in the event of a fire. Fire doors are a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection, helping to contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and safeguard occupants.

Our inspections are thorough, practical and focused on real world performance, not just a visual check.

Fire doors must be correctly installed, maintained and functioning properly to be effective. Issues such as excessive gaps, damaged seals, or faulty self closing devices can significantly reduce their performance.

Regular inspections help ensure compliance with fire safety legislation and reduce the risk of fire and smoke spreading throughout a building.

Our inspections assess:

• Door leaf condition and suitability 
• Frame condition and installation 
• Gaps and clearances 
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals 
• Hinges and ironmongery 
• Self-closing devices 
• Door signage and identification 
• Overall compliance and performance

As part of our service, we create a comprehensive database of all fire doors on site, allowing each door to be uniquely identified and tracked. We use a QR code system to label each door, enabling easy identification and access during future inspections. This provides a clear, structured and auditable approach to fire door management, particularly for larger or more complex premises.

We don’t just identify issues, we provide clear, practical recommendations to help you address them.

Our reports are easy to understand, with prioritised actions that can be implemented to improve fire safety and maintain compliance. Our approach is simple: no shortcuts in safety, and no unnecessary complications.

Types of premises we cover: 

• Blocks of flats and residential buildings 
• Care homes and supported living 
• Commercial premises and offices 
• Industrial units and warehouses
