Fire Door Inspections in Archway

From the N19 district outwards, we cover Archway and neighbouring towns such as Holloway and Muswell Hill for fire door inspections.

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.

Common questions in Archway

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Archway?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Archway 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.

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.

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

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