Fire Door Inspections in Woking

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

Common questions in Woking

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Woking?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Woking?

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