Fire Door Inspections in Gloucester

Need a fire door inspection in Gloucester? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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.

Common questions in Gloucester

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.

Do you cover the area around Gloucester?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gloucester?

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