Fire Door Inspections in Brent

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Brent and the HA0 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Questions from Brent clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Brent?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Brent can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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 Brent?

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

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.
