Fire Door Inspections in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

Can you price remedial work in Newcastle upon Tyne from another company's report?

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Newcastle upon Tyne is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential 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.
