Fire Door Inspections in Holloway

Fire Door Inspections in Holloway, Greater London: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Holloway.

Fire Door Inspections in Holloway: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Holloway?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Holloway?

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

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.
