Fire Door Inspections in Cambridgeshire
Fire Door Inspections throughout Cambridgeshire: from Peterborough to Cambridge, every door is inspected, photographed and logged, and remedial work is priced door by door.
Fire Door Inspections: 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.

Fire Door Inspections in Cambridgeshire: questions
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cambridgeshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cambridgeshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Yes. As well as Cambridgeshire itself we cover nearby towns including Peterborough, Cambridge and Wisbech.
