Fire Door Inspections in Blackheath

From the SE3 district outwards, we cover Blackheath and neighbouring towns such as Greenwich and Catford for 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. We use the same method for buildings in Blackheath.
