Fire Door Inspections in Loughton

From the DY14 district outwards, we cover Loughton and neighbouring towns such as Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster 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 Loughton

Do you need to remove the doors?

No. Inspections are non-intrusive. The inspector measures, operates and photographs each door in place and only lifts away removable items such as letter-plate covers where it is safe to do so.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Loughton?

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

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.
