Fire Door Inspections in Merseyside
Fire Door Inspections throughout Merseyside: from Liverpool to Birkenhead, every door is inspected, photographed and logged, and remedial work is priced door by door.
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.

Fire Door Inspections in Merseyside: questions
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 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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Merseyside?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Merseyside is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Merseyside?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Merseyside can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
