Fire Door Inspections in Ashton-under-Lyne

From the OL7 district outwards, we cover Ashton-under-Lyne and neighbouring towns such as Dukinfield and Stalybridge 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-under-Lyne.

Questions from Ashton-under-Lyne clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ashton-under-Lyne?

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

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.

Do you cover the area around Ashton-under-Lyne?

Yes. As well as Ashton-under-Lyne itself we cover nearby towns including Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden.
