Fire Door Inspections in Swinton

Swinton landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door inspections with straightforward reports and fixed 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 Swinton.

Swinton FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Swinton?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Swinton?

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

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.
