Fire Door Inspections in Castlereagh

From the BT6 district outwards, we cover Castlereagh and neighbouring towns such as Belfast and Newtownabbey 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.

Common questions in Castlereagh

Does regulation 10 apply in Castlereagh?

No. Castlereagh is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.

Do you cover the area around Castlereagh?

Yes. As well as Castlereagh itself we cover nearby towns including Belfast, Newtownabbey and Lisburn.

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.

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.
