Fire Door Inspections in York

From the YO1 district outwards, we cover York and neighbouring towns such as Selby and Harrogate 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.

Common questions in York

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in York?

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

Do you cover the area around York?

Yes. As well as York itself we cover nearby towns including Selby, Harrogate and Goole.

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.

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.
