Fire Door Inspections in Bury St Edmunds: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bury St Edmunds?

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

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.

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 Bury St Edmunds from another company's report?

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