Fire Door Inspections across Acton
Fire doors in Acton blocks, schools and commercial buildings need systematic inspection, clear defect schedules and practical prioritisation. We inspect doorsets and report defects so duty holders can brief competent remedial contractors.
Our fire door inspection support covers communal doors, flat entrance doors where instructed, riser doors, plant-room doors and escape-route doors. We distinguish inspection and advisory work from installation: remedial works should be undertaken by competent contractors under an appropriate specification.
