Fire Door Inspections in Walthamstow

Responsible persons in Walthamstow can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Walthamstow FAQs

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.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Walthamstow from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Walthamstow, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Walthamstow?

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