Fire Door Inspections in Ewell

From the KT17 district outwards, we cover Ewell and neighbouring towns such as Epsom and Sutton for fire door inspections.

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 Ewell.

Questions from Ewell clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Ewell?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Ewell can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

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 Ewell?

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