Fire Door Inspections in Chingford

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Chingford and the E4 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Chingford FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chingford?

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

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.

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.
