Fire Door Inspections in Worcester

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

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 Worcester.

Worcester FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Worcester?

Worcester 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 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 Worcester?

Yes. As well as Worcester itself we cover nearby towns including Droitwich, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn.

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.
