Fire Door Inspections in Aldridge

We provide fire door inspections for buildings in Aldridge and the WS9 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Aldridge.

Fire Door Inspections in Aldridge: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Aldridge?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Aldridge?

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

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.
