Fire door inspection in Chesham
A written record for every door, kept in a form you can forward to an agent, an insurer or the council.
Get a priceA small landlord usually has a gas certificate in the drawer, and next to it an electrical report. Ask for something on the fire doors and the drawer is empty.
A dated record
It says who looked, which day, what each door measured, what was wrong and has photos to match. Fix the faults, put the repair paperwork beside it, and the two documents between them show what you knew and what you did about it.
The buildings we are asked about
We get asked about houses split into flats and flats over shops, and about shared houses now and then. Five or six doors might be all there is. They carry a lot, though, because one stair serves every resident, and a door at the bottom that sticks open puts smoke on every landing above it.
The faults repeat. A closer unscrewed because it banged at night. A seal that has peeled off the frame. A tenant's own front door from a DIY shed, hollow and unrated. A gap under the door you could post a letter through.
The visit
It does not take long at a building this size. Every door is measured, photographed and let go from open to see if it latches. If a tenant is at home we look at the inside of the flat door, and if nobody is in we ring you and pick another day. The report follows once the invoice is paid.
Some landlords fix the list themselves, some ask us for a price and some hand it to a carpenter they already use. All of that is fine.
Rules in Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety in Chesham, and Buckinghamshire Council is the housing authority. Over 11 metres the 2022 Regulations add check dates. Smaller buildings come under the 2005 Fire Safety Order.
Getting here
We come from Luton, and a single small building is a lot of driving for a handful of doors. If you own more than one, tell us. For shared doors you do not need to be there, and for flat doors we arrange access with whoever lives in them. Whether an insurer accepts the report is a question for the insurer.
