Fire Door Inspections in Rickmansworth

Looking for a fire door inspection in Rickmansworth? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Rickmansworth and surrounding parts of Hertfordshire, 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 Rickmansworth.
