Fire Door Inspections in South Croydon

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in South Croydon and the CR2 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Fire Door Inspections in South Croydon: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in South Croydon?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in South Croydon?

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.

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.
