Fire Door Inspections in Brixton

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Brixton, 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 Brixton.

Fire doors in Brixton's buildings

Fire door work in Brixton typically involves purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted terraces, where communal stair doors and flat entrance doors carry most of the fire strategy. Where a Brixton building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Common questions in Brixton

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Brixton?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Brixton?

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