Fire Door Inspections in Shrewsbury

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Shrewsbury and the SY1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Common questions in Shrewsbury

Do you cover the area around Shrewsbury?

Yes. As well as Shrewsbury itself we cover nearby towns including Wellington, Telford and 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.

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 Shrewsbury?

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