Fire Door Inspections in Great Yarmouth

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Great Yarmouth and the NR30 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.

Common questions in Great Yarmouth

Do you work in occupied buildings in Great Yarmouth?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Great Yarmouth can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Great Yarmouth?

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

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.
