Fire Door Inspections in Flint

From the CH6 district outwards, we cover Flint and neighbouring towns such as Deeside and Buckley for fire door inspections.

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.
