Professional Fire Door Surveys Across Sunderland
Fire doors are designed as complete assemblies, meaning every component must work correctly together to provide effective protection. The door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, self-closing device, glazing and ironmongery all contribute to the performance of the doorset.
Over time, issues can develop that affect how a fire door operates. These can include damaged door edges, missing seals, incorrect gaps, faulty closers, loose hardware or doors that no longer close correctly into the frame.
GND Group provides professional fire door surveys across Sunderland, assessing existing doorsets and recording visible defects that may affect their operation.
Our surveys help landlords, managing agents and property owners gain a clearer understanding of the condition of their fire doors. This allows suitable repairs and remedial works to be planned based on identified issues rather than relying only on obvious damage or concerns raised by occupants.

What Does a Fire Door Survey Assess?
A fire door survey assesses the complete doorset rather than focusing only on the visible condition of the door. Each component contributes to how effectively the door performs during a fire.
During a survey, GND Group reviews areas including the door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, glazing, self-closing devices, locks, handles and other associated hardware. We also consider whether the door closes correctly and whether visible issues could affect its intended performance.
Common concerns identified during surveys can include excessive gaps, damaged materials, missing components or problems caused by previous alterations. Recording these issues provides property managers with a clearer understanding of any required works.
Where wider passive fire protection concerns are identified, GND Group can also support clients through additional services including fire compartmentation and fire stopping.
Fire Door Surveys for Residential and Commercial Properties
Fire door requirements can vary depending on the type of property and how it is used. Different buildings across Sunderland can present different challenges when assessing existing fire doors.
Within residential developments, fire doors may protect flat entrances, communal areas, stairwells, corridors and service areas. These doors often experience frequent use, making regular checks important for identifying damage and deterioration.
Commercial and industrial buildings can contain fire doors protecting offices, storage spaces, plant rooms and escape routes. These properties may also have additional considerations due to operational activity, building layout and higher levels of daily use.
GND Group provides fire door surveys for a wide range of properties throughout Sunderland, helping clients maintain effective passive fire protection and understand the condition of their existing doors.
