    I would like to request the following information covering the financial year 2024/25.

    1. Fire door-related failures The number of fire safety inspections carried out under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 where the outcome recorded included non-compliance specifically due to deficiencies relating to fire doors.

Fire door non-compliance should be understood to include (but not be limited to): inadequate fire resistance of fire doors, damaged, poorly fitting, or incorrectly installed fire doors, missing, defective, or disabled self-closing devices, missing or defective intumescent or smoke seals, inappropriate fire door specification for the location, inadequate maintenance of fire doors.

    2. Reasons for fire door failures Based on inspection records, enforcement records, or deficiency categories held, the five most frequently recorded reasons for fire door-related non-compliance during the timeframe above. Please base this response only on existing recorded categories or descriptions used by your service, and not on new analysis or interpretation.

    3.Building types affected Based on inspection or enforcement records, the five most common building types in which fire door-related non-compliance was recorded during the timeframe above. If building types are categorised by your service (for example, residential, care homes, commercial, educational, etc.), please use the categories already recorded.
