Fire Door Inspections in Barnet

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Barnet, our fire door inspections follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Barnet.

Questions from Barnet clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Barnet?

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

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.

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

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