We provide fire door inspections across Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester and Crewe, with the same report format and pricing wherever your buildings are.
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 Cheshire: questions
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.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Cheshire?
Cheshire 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.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Cheshire?
It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
