Fire Door Inspections in Norfolk
Fire Door Inspections throughout Norfolk: from Norwich to Great Yarmouth, 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 Norfolk: 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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Norfolk?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Norfolk 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 Norfolk?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Norfolk can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
