Fire Door Inspections in Hadley Wood

Responsible persons in Hadley Wood 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.

Fire Door Inspections in Hadley Wood: questions

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 Hadley Wood?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Hadley Wood 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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Hadley Wood?

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