Fire Door Inspections in Lower Earley

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Lower Earley and the RG6 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Lower Earley clients

Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?

It records the evidence available: labels, plugs, glazing marks, hardware markings and construction. Where there is no evidence of a fire rating, the report says so, so the fire risk assessor can decide what to do.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Lower Earley?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Lower Earley can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Which fire safety law applies in Lower Earley?

Lower Earley is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.
