Fire Door Inspections in Harrow

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Harrow and the HA1 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. We use the same method for buildings in Harrow.

Fire Door Inspections in Harrow: questions

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Harrow?

Yes. As well as Harrow itself we cover nearby towns including Brent, Wembley and Northolt.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Harrow?

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