Fire Door Inspections in East Grinstead

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in East Grinstead, our fire door inspections follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 East Grinstead.

Fire Door Inspections in East Grinstead: questions

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 cover the area around East Grinstead?

Yes. As well as East Grinstead itself we cover nearby towns including Horley, Crawley and Crowborough.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in East Grinstead?

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

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.
