Indigo Systems provides practical fire door surveys for commercial, healthcare, residential and public-sector buildings across London. This page is for building owners, managing agents, facilities teams and contractors who need a clear assessment of existing fire doors before planning remedial works, maintenance or replacement.
Fire door surveys for London buildings
A fire door survey helps identify whether each door set is suitable, correctly fitted and able to protect escape routes and compartment lines. Indigo can review door leaves, frames, glazing, hinges, closers, seals, gaps, signage and visible damage, then explain what needs attention.
Typical buildings we survey
- Commercial offices and workplaces
- Managed residential blocks and communal areas
- Healthcare and public-sector sites
- Education buildings and mixed-use developments
- Contractor-led refurbishment or compliance projects
What a fire door survey looks for
- Door leaf condition, fire rating and visible certification marks where present
- Frame condition, alignment and signs of movement or damage
- Gaps around the door and whether smoke or intumescent seals are intact
- Closer, latch, hinge and ironmongery performance
- Glazing, signage and hold-open arrangements where relevant
- Doors affected by heavy use, refurbishment, water damage or previous repairs
Survey outcomes and next steps
The purpose of the survey is to give you usable information. Some doors may only need adjustment or maintenance. Others may need remedial works, replacement components or full replacement. Where appropriate, Indigo can support the next stage through fire door remedial works in London, fire door installation in London or ongoing maintenance.

Can Indigo survey fire doors in occupied buildings?
Yes. Fire door surveys are commonly carried out in live buildings, with work planned around access, occupancy and site rules.
Can you help after the survey?
Yes. Indigo can help with recommended remedial works, maintenance, replacement and installation where needed.
