Fire Door Inspections in Wallasey

From the CH45 district outwards, we cover Wallasey and neighbouring towns such as Birkenhead and Bootle for fire door inspections.

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.

Wallasey FAQs

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 Wallasey?

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

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.

Do you cover the area around Wallasey?

Yes. As well as Wallasey itself we cover nearby towns including Birkenhead, Bootle and Liverpool.
