Fire door inspectors serving Cork
Cork is Ireland’s second city and one of its fastest-growing property markets, with new apartment schemes in the docklands, large pharmaceutical and technology campuses around Ringaskiddy, Little Island and Mahon, and a busy hotel and student-accommodation sector serving UCC and MTU.
Every one of those buildings depends on fire doors that will actually hold back fire and smoke. Our inspectors travel to Cork from our Dublin base and can inspect several buildings in one trip, which keeps the cost per building down for management companies and facilities teams with more than one site.
The inspection itself is the same rigorous 30-point assessment we carry out everywhere: leaf, frame, seals, hardware, glazing, gaps, signage and certification, recorded door by door in a digital asset register you keep.
What the 30-point inspection covers
- Door leaf, frame and threshold condition
- Intumescent strips and cold smoke seals
- Hinges, closers, latches and hold-open devices
- Gaps around the leaf (3mm ± 1mm) and at the threshold
- Glazing, vision panels and glazing beads
- Signage, certification labels and door plugs
Repairs to BS 8214
Our specialist carpenters repair FD30 and FD60 timber fire doors in Cork: replacing intumescent and smoke seals, adjusting or replacing closers and hinges, correcting gaps, re-glazing vision panels and fitting compliant signage. Minor repairs are usually completed on the inspection visit.
Documentation you can rely on
A door-by-door digital asset register with photographs, pass/fail status and prioritised repairs, plus a compliance summary for your insurer, fire officer and management company — the evidence that your duty under the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 has been met.

Fire door inspection in Cork — your questions answered
Do you charge travel to Cork?
We quote a fixed price per building that already reflects travel from Dublin, and we can combine several Cork buildings into one visit to reduce the cost per site. Ask for a quote with your building addresses and approximate door counts.
Can you inspect a large campus with hundreds of fire doors in Cork?
Yes. We regularly inspect large door counts and record every door in a digital asset register with a unique reference, photographs and a pass/fail status, so your EHS or facilities team can track remediation across the whole site.
What regulations apply to fire doors in Cork?
The same national framework applies everywhere in Ireland: the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 place a duty on the person in control of the building, and Building Regulations Technical Guidance Document B sets out fire door performance. Repairs are carried out to BS 8214.
Do you repair fire doors in Cork as well as inspect them?
Yes. Our specialist carpenters repair FD30 and FD60 timber fire doors — seals, closers, hinges, gaps, glazing and signage — and we can carry out the repairs on the same visit as the inspection where access allows.
