Fire Door Inspections in Croydon

Responsible persons in Croydon can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Croydon.

Croydon FAQs

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.

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

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

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 Croydon?

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