Fire Door Inspections in Norwich: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Norwich?

Norwich is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Norwich?

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

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.
