Fire Door Inspections in Buckley

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Buckley and the CH7 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.
