Fire Door Inspections in Burntwood

Burntwood landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door inspections with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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.

Fire Door Inspections in Burntwood: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Burntwood?

Burntwood is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

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

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