Fire Door Inspections in Garston

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

In short: 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.

Common questions in Garston

Do you work in occupied buildings in Garston?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Garston?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Garston 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.
