Fire Door Inspections in Luton

Need a fire door inspection in Luton? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

A fire door inspection is a documented, door-by-door check that each fire door in a building will still hold back fire and smoke for its rated period. The inspector examines the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing, ironmongery and signage, records what passes and what fails, and photographs every defect. We use the same method for buildings in Luton.

Luton FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Luton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Luton is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you need to remove the doors?

No. Inspections are non-intrusive. The inspector measures, operates and photographs each door in place and only lifts away removable items such as letter-plate covers where it is safe to do so.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Luton?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.
