Fire Door Inspections in Kidderminster

Responsible persons in Kidderminster can book fire door inspections with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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.

Fire Door Inspections in Kidderminster: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Kidderminster?

Kidderminster is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Kidderminster?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

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.
