Fire Door Inspections in Blyth

Need a fire door inspection in Blyth? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Blyth.

Fire Door Inspections in Blyth: questions

Do you cover the area around Blyth?

Yes. As well as Blyth itself we cover nearby towns including Ashington, Cramlington and Whitley Bay.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Blyth?

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