Fire Door Inspections in Bathgate

Bathgate landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door inspections with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Bathgate.
