Fire Door Inspections in Pimlico

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

In short: 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.

Fire Door Inspections in Pimlico: questions

Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Pimlico?

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.
