Fire Door Inspections in Tottenham

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Tottenham and the N17 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Common questions in Tottenham

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tottenham?

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

Do you cover the area around Tottenham?

Yes. As well as Tottenham itself we cover nearby towns including Edmonton, Wood Green and Walthamstow.

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.
