Fire Door Inspections in Portsmouth

Looking for a fire door inspection in Portsmouth? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Portsmouth and surrounding parts of Hampshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Portsmouth.

Questions from Portsmouth clients

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 cover the area around Portsmouth?

Yes. As well as Portsmouth itself we cover nearby towns including Gosport, Fareham and Ryde.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Portsmouth?

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