Fire Door Tagging & Asset Registers in Preston

We provide fire door tagging and asset registers for buildings in Preston and the PR1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

Fire door tagging gives every fire door a unique, durable ID tag, usually on the top or hinge edge, linked to a register entry holding its location, rating, components, photos and inspection history. We use the same method for buildings in Preston.

Preston FAQs

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Preston?

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.

Does tagging change the fire rating?

No. Tags are small, fixed with short pins or adhesive in positions that do not affect the door's construction.

Where is the tag fitted?

Usually on the top edge or hinge edge of the leaf, where it can be read without affecting the door's seals or performance.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Preston?

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