Fire Door Inspections in Bracknell

Responsible persons in Bracknell can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

In short: 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.

Questions from Bracknell clients

Do you cover the area around Bracknell?

Yes. As well as Bracknell itself we cover nearby towns including Crowthorne, Wokingham and Sandhurst.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bracknell?

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

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.

What happens if a door fails?

The report lists exactly which components failed and why. Each item is priced separately, so you can approve the urgent fixes first and plan the rest.
