Fire Door Inspections in Hebburn

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Hebburn, our fire door inspections follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Hebburn FAQs

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 Hebburn from another company's report?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hebburn?

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