Fire Door Inspections in Borehamwood

From the WD6 district outwards, we cover Borehamwood and neighbouring towns such as Barnet and Bushey for 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. We use the same method for buildings in Borehamwood.

Fire Door Inspections in Borehamwood: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Borehamwood?

Borehamwood is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Borehamwood from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Borehamwood, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
