Fire Door Inspections in Cheltenham

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

In short: 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.

Cheltenham FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cheltenham?

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

Do you cover the area around Cheltenham?

Yes. As well as Cheltenham itself we cover nearby towns including Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud.

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.

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.
