Fire Door Inspections in Tynemouth

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

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 Tynemouth.

Where fire doors matter most in Tynemouth

As a coastal town, Tynemouth has many hotels, guest houses and holiday lets, where bedroom and corridor fire doors protect guests who do not know the building. Where a Tynemouth building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Fire Door Inspections in Tynemouth: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tynemouth?

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

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.

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.

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

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