Fire Door Inspections in Brentwood

Brentwood 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.

Fire Door Inspections in Brentwood: questions

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Brentwood?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Brentwood is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.

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.
