Fire Door Inspections in Richmond

Responsible persons in Richmond 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. The inspector examines the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing, ironmongery and signage, records what passes and what fails, and photographs every defect.
