— Our Process
How It Works
Site Survey & Scoping
Survey the premises to identify all fire-doors, escape routes and high-risk zones, then agree inspection scope and access times suitable for your site and occupants.
On‑Site Inspection
Inspect each door and related hardware (leaf, frame, seals, intumescent, hinges, closers, signage), record defects with photographs and check operation and signage.
Report & Remedial Plan
Deliver an audit-ready PDF with prioritised defects, compliance commentary, recommended remedial actions and options for ongoing servicing or one-off repairs.

Why Choose Us?
Audit-ready documentation
Photographic, time-stamped reports with clear defect coding and prioritised actions - suitable for audits, fire risk assessment files and client handovers.
Specialist, accredited team
Acute Homes combines Which Trusted Trader membership, CHAS, TRUSTMARK and SSIP accreditation with commercial experience delivering paperwork facilities managers expect.
Local, pragmatic service
Oxfordshire-based operatives who understand period properties, modern developments and hotel/healthcare constraints; fast scheduling and measured remedial recommendations.
Comprehensive inspections, not tick-box checks. Acute Homes carries out a measured inspection of every fire door assembly — door leaf, frame and thresholds; intumescent and smoke seals; hinges and fixings; closer operation and latching; door signage and escape-route interaction. Each defect is assessed for severity and effect on means of escape so duty-holders have a clear compliance picture. Reports reference the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and current fire-safety guidance where relevant, and are prepared for inclusion in your fire safety file.
Practical outcomes for landlords and commercial clients. Alongside the inspection report, Acute Homes provides a prioritised remedial plan and can carry out repairs or set up scheduled servicing contracts for closers, seals and hardware to keep doors audit-ready. For hotels, care homes, schools and offices this includes RAMS, asset lists and clear handover paperwork so facilities managers receive the documentation they need for audits and insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Inspection frequency depends on building use and risk. As a rule, higher-risk commercial sites and common areas in multi-occupancy buildings benefit from inspections every six to twelve months, while lower-risk premises may be inspected annually. Acute Homes will advise a programme tailored to the building and duty-holder requirements.
