Fire Door Inspections in Southall

Looking for a fire door inspection in Southall? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Southall and surrounding parts of Greater London, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

Questions from Southall clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Southall?

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

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Southall?

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.

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.
