Fire Door Inspections in Kingswinford

From the DY6 district outwards, we cover Kingswinford and neighbouring towns such as Brierley Hill and Stourbridge for fire door inspections.

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.

Common questions in Kingswinford

Do you cover the area around Kingswinford?

Yes. As well as Kingswinford itself we cover nearby towns including Brierley Hill, Stourbridge and Dudley.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kingswinford?

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

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.
