Fire Door Inspections in Newmarket

From the CB8 district outwards, we cover Newmarket and neighbouring towns such as Haverhill and Ely for 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.

Common questions in Newmarket

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.

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newmarket?

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