Fire Door Inspections in Bowthorpe

Responsible persons in Bowthorpe can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Bowthorpe FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bowthorpe?

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

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.

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

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