Fire Door Inspections in Ely

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

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.

Ely FAQs

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.

Can you price remedial work in Ely from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Ely, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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 Ely?

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