Fire Door Inspections in the West Midlands
Fire Door Inspections throughout the West Midlands: from Birmingham to Coventry, every door is inspected, photographed and logged, and remedial work is priced door by door.
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.
