Fire Door Inspections in Hinckley

Responsible persons in Hinckley can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Questions from Hinckley clients

Do you cover the area around Hinckley?

Yes. As well as Hinckley itself we cover nearby towns including Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hinckley?

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

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.

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.
