Fire Door Inspections in Hampshire

Fire Door Inspections throughout Hampshire: from Southampton to Portsmouth, every door is inspected, photographed and logged, and remedial work is priced door by door.

Fire Door Inspections: 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.

How does it work in Hampshire?

  1. Scope

    Tell us the building type, roughly how many fire doors there are and when we can get access. We confirm a fixed fee before booking.

  2. Inspect

    The inspector works through the building door by door, measuring gaps, testing closers and photographing every defect.

  3. Report

    You receive a report with a reference, location, photos and a pass, advisory or fail result for every door, usually within five working days.

  4. Put it right

    Every failed item is priced individually so you can approve all, some or none of the remedial work.
