Fire Door Inspections in Ashton in Makerfield

From the WN4 district outwards, we cover Ashton in Makerfield and neighbouring towns such as Golborne and Newton-le-Willows 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 Ashton in Makerfield.
