Fire Door Inspections in Dudley

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

In short: 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.

Questions from Dudley clients

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.

What happens if a door fails?

The report lists exactly which components failed and why. Each item is priced separately, so you can approve the urgent fixes first and plan the rest.

Which fire safety law applies in Dudley?

Dudley 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 quickly can you inspect fire doors in Dudley?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
