Fire Door Inspections in Bishopbriggs

Fire Door Inspections in Bishopbriggs, Dunbartonshire: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Bishopbriggs.

Fire Door Inspections in Bishopbriggs: questions

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply in Bishopbriggs?

No. Bishopbriggs is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

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.
