Fire Door Inspections in Bolton

Looking for a fire door inspection in Bolton? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Bolton and surrounding parts of Greater Manchester, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Bolton.

Common questions in Bolton

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bolton?

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.
