Fire doors · Inspection reporting
What should a fire door inspection report contain?
Short answer
A useful report identifies the asset, records what was observed, distinguishes fact from assumption, shows supporting photographs, and gives a next action another person can act on.
What changes the answer
- inspection purpose and scope
- asset identification quality
- level of measurement required
- access limitations
- records available
- client defect categories and priorities.
What to check on site
- unique asset and location
- door type and visible identifiers
- observed defect
- photograph
- measurement where relevant
- evidence gap
- recommended next action
- inspector details.
What to do next
If your current report says "fail" without showing what failed or what happens next, send it to us. We can use the existing data as the starting point for a workable rectification scope.
General information only. A conclusion about a specific condition requires the actual construction, the evidence behind it and the site condition to be reviewed.
