Fire Door Inspections in Kilburn

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Kilburn, our fire door inspections follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

A unique reference and location for every door, so faults can be found again
Gap readings at the head, hanging and closing edges, meeting stiles and threshold

Gaps	Perimeter gaps are usually expected to sit between 2 and 4 mm, unless the door's certification gives a different tolerance.
Glazing	Glass and beads match a fire-rated system for the door, with no cracks or missing fixings.
Closer	The door closes fully into its frame and engages the latch from any opening position.

Kilburn FAQs

Do you cover the area around Kilburn?

Yes. As well as Kilburn itself we cover nearby towns including Cricklewood, Chalk Farm and Camden Town.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kilburn?

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

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.

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.
