Fire Door Inspections in Birmingham

Looking for a fire door inspection in Birmingham? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Birmingham and surrounding parts of the West Midlands, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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.

Birmingham FAQs

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Birmingham?

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

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.
