Fire Door Inspections in Aberdare

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Aberdare and the CF44 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Aberdare from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Aberdare, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.
