Fire Door Inspections in Tyldesley

From the M29 district outwards, we cover Tyldesley and neighbouring towns such as Atherton and Leigh 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.

Tyldesley FAQs

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 Tyldesley?

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

Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?

It records the evidence available: labels, plugs, glazing marks, hardware markings and construction. Where there is no evidence of a fire rating, the report says so, so the fire risk assessor can decide what to do.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tyldesley?

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