Fire Door Inspections in Stratford

From the E15 district outwards, we cover Stratford and neighbouring towns such as Bow and Canning Town for fire door inspections.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Stratford.

Typical Stratford fire door jobs

Fire door work in Stratford typically involves purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted terraces, where communal stair doors and flat entrance doors carry most of the fire strategy. We can work early, late or at weekends in Stratford where residents, pupils or patients make daytime access difficult.

Included as standard in Stratford

Intumescent strips and smoke seals: present, continuous, undamaged and not painted over
Gap readings at the head, hanging and closing edges, meeting stiles and threshold
Vision panels, glazing beads and air transfer grilles checked against the door's rating
Fire door signage present and correct for the door's use
A unique reference and location for every door, so faults can be found again

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.

Stratford FAQs

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Stratford?

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stratford?

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