Fire Door Inspections in Fife
Our fire door inspections cover the whole of Fife, across local authorities including Fife.
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.

Fire Door Inspections in Fife: 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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply in Fife?
No. Fife 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.

Yes. As well as Fife itself we cover nearby towns including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
