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

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.

Prestwich FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Prestwich?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Prestwich 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 work in occupied buildings in Prestwich?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Prestwich can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.
