Fire Door Inspections in Heswall

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Heswall and the CH60 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Heswall.

Heswall FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Heswall?

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

Do you cover the area around Heswall?

Yes. As well as Heswall itself we cover nearby towns including Bebington, Birkenhead and Flint.

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.
