Surveyor inspecting a fire door and recording findings

Overview

Care settings depend on compartmentation to protect residents who cannot evacuate quickly.

Inspections are carried out quietly, room by room, and documented so evidence is ready when it is asked for.

Key considerations

01

Resident bedroom doors

Checked individually, working around care routines and resident wellbeing.

02

Hold-open devices

Free-swing and hold-open devices assessed for correct release and closing performance.

03

Compartment lines

Corridor and compartment doors recorded against their location within the building.

04

Inspection-ready evidence

Photographic records and prioritised actions that can be produced on request.
