Fire Door Inspections in Strood

Need a fire door inspection in Strood? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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.

Strood FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Strood?

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

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Strood?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Strood can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
