Fire Door Inspections in Salford

Responsible persons in Salford can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Salford.

Salford FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Salford?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Salford?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Salford 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.

What happens if a door fails?

The report lists exactly which components failed and why. Each item is priced separately, so you can approve the urgent fixes first and plan the rest.
