Fire Door Inspections in Worcestershire
Across Worcestershire, from Worcester to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door inspections for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
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 Worcestershire: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Worcestershire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Worcestershire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Worcestershire?
Yes. As well as Worcestershire itself we cover nearby towns including Worcester, Redditch and Kidderminster.
