Fire Door Inspections in Northampton

Northampton landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door inspections with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Northampton.

Questions from Northampton clients

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.

Can you price remedial work in Northampton from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Northampton, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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 Northampton?

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