Why Apex
Professional fire door inspections for buildings where records matter.
Fire doors are part of a wider fire strategy. When they are damaged, poorly adjusted, missing seals or failing to close, they can stop performing as intended.
Apex gives property teams a structured way to assess door condition, record issues and plan remedial work. The aim is simple: help you understand risk quickly, maintain evidence and make the next action clear.
Compliance context: GOV.UK guidance identifies employers, owners, landlords, occupiers and people with control of premises as responsible persons for fire safety in non-domestic premises. It also highlights the need to carry out and regularly review fire risk assessments, put in place appropriate fire safety measures and maintain them.
Services
Everything needed to move from uncertainty to a documented action plan.
Use Apex for one-off inspections, portfolio reviews, pre-audit checks or planned compliance programmes.
Photographic reports
Clear, site-ready reporting that helps responsible persons, facilities teams and contractors understand defects and next steps.
Remedial advice
Prioritised recommendations so you can plan repairs, replacements and follow-up checks with less guesswork.
