Fire Door Inspections in Retford

From the DN22 district outwards, we cover Retford and neighbouring towns such as Worksop and Gainsborough for fire door inspections.

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.

Questions from Retford clients

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Retford?

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

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

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