Fire Door Inspections in Yeovil

Responsible persons in Yeovil can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised 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 Yeovil.

Fire Door Inspections in Yeovil: questions

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 Yeovil?

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

Do you cover the area around Yeovil?

Yes. As well as Yeovil itself we cover nearby towns including Bridgwater, Taunton and Weymouth.

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.
