Fire Door Inspections in Thornton-Cleveleys

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Thornton-Cleveleys, our fire door inspections follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Thornton-Cleveleys.
