Fire Door Inspections in Ebbw Vale

Fire Door Inspections in Ebbw Vale, Gwent: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Ebbw Vale.
