Fire Door Inspections in Daventry

Responsible persons in Daventry 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.

Do you cover the area around Daventry?

Yes. As well as Daventry itself we cover nearby towns including Rugby, Northampton and Royal Leamington Spa.

Which fire safety law applies in Daventry?

Daventry 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.
