Fire Door Inspections in Redcar

From the TS10 district outwards, we cover Redcar and neighbouring towns such as Middlesbrough and Hartlepool for 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. We use the same method for buildings in Redcar.

Fire Door Inspections in Redcar: questions

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 Redcar?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Redcar is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.

Do you cover the area around Redcar?

Yes. As well as Redcar itself we cover nearby towns including Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Billingham.
