Fire Door Inspections in Caterham

Looking for a fire door inspection in Caterham? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Caterham and surrounding parts of Surrey, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

Caterham FAQs

Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?

It records the evidence available: labels, plugs, glazing marks, hardware markings and construction. Where there is no evidence of a fire rating, the report says so, so the fire risk assessor can decide what to do.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Caterham?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Caterham 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.
