The difference we deliver
Trade-certified barrier fitting
Supplying fire-resistant structural barriers that meet all modern heat-containment laws.
6-month statutory checks
Providing routine periodic condition scans to guarantee exit points remain fully responsive during crises.
Precision smoke sealing
Ensuring every installed framework stops toxic airborne fumes from invading communal exit pathways.
New legislation mandates regular inspections for residential properties
Recent updates under the Fire Safety Act 2021 and Fire Safety Regulations 2022 enforce strict compliance for multi-occupied residential buildings. High-rise structures over eleven metres require flat entrance doors and communal doors checked every three months, while other multi-occupied blocks need annual checks.
Houses in multiple occupancy also require regular verification to maintain valid licensing. At FRA Experts Ltd, we help landlords meet these stringent statutory duties. Our qualified inspectors align every assessment with BS 9999:2017 guidance to ensure safety and prevent legal penalties.
Comprehensive checks evaluate essential door components
Our assessment examines the door leaf and frame for warping or structural modifications. We measure perimeter gaps to ensure tolerances do not exceed three millimetres, preventing smoke from bypassing the barrier. The inspection covers intumescent strips, smoke seals, hinges, and ironmongery.
We test self-closing mechanisms to guarantee the door latches fully from any open position without obstruction, a crucial step when planning a fire alarm inspection and installation. Additionally, we verify that electromagnetic hold-open devices release automatically during an alarm activation, ensuring your safety setups pass any rigorous commercial EICR. Our team holds professional training to AFDIS standards for precise evaluations.
Property owners receive clear photographic evidence and compliance reports
We provide a detailed digital report within forty-eight hours of completing the site visit. This documentation includes a clear pass or fail status for every single door inspected, accompanied by individual photographic evidence. If components fail to meet the required safety standards, we outline priority remedial actions to resolve the issues immediately.
FRA Experts Ltd also supplies transparent quotes for any necessary remedial work. This structured report delivers the exact verification required by local authorities and housing associations to prove continuous safety compliance.
