Fire Door Inspections in Chichester

Need a fire door inspection in Chichester? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Chichester clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chichester?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Chichester is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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

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

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.
