Fire Door Inspections in Stanford-le-Hope

From the SS17 district outwards, we cover Stanford-le-Hope and neighbouring towns such as Basildon and Pitsea for fire door inspections.

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 Stanford-le-Hope.
