Fire Door Inspections in Farnworth

From the BL4 district outwards, we cover Farnworth and neighbouring towns such as Walkden and Bolton for fire door inspections.

In short: 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.
