Fire Door Inspections in West Yorkshire

Our fire door inspections cover the whole of West Yorkshire, across local authorities including Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield.

Fire Door Inspections: 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.

Fire Door Inspections in West Yorkshire: questions

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.

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 West Yorkshire?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in West Yorkshire?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in West Yorkshire can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
