Know Which Fire Doors Need Attention
Fire doors form an important part of a building’s fire protection measures. Damage, wear, alterations or defective components can affect their condition and operation.
Our Fire Door Inspection Consultants carry out a systematic inspection of your doors and provide a clear record of the condition found at the time of inspection.
Where defects or concerns are identified, they are recorded within the inspection report together with practical recommendations to help you determine the next steps.
What We Look At During an Inspection
- Visible condition of the door leaf and frame
- Gaps around the door and frame
- Hinges and relevant door hardware
- Intumescent and smoke seals where fitted
- Self-closing devices
- Whether the door closes correctly into the frame
- Glazing and visible alterations
- Signs of damage, wear or poor maintenance
