How long does a fire door inspection take?
Get a priceThe inspection itself takes a few minutes a door. The rest of the day goes on reaching them. Take an empty office with 30 doors, all unlocked, and that is a morning. Take a block of flats with 30 doors and half the residents at work, and that is two visits.
What slows it down
A cupboard that is locked with the key on another site. A pair of doors, which has a meeting gap and a coordinator on top of everything a single leaf has. A door with no label, where we hunt for evidence and take extra photos. A resident who is out, so we log the flat and come back.
What helps
A floor plan, or even a scribbled list of rooms. Someone with keys who walks round with us. A notice to everyone beforehand, because a stranger with a camera on the landing worries people.
On the day
We begin at one end and go through in order with a photo at every door. Anything urgent, a stair door that won't latch say, we mention to the building manager before we leave the building. The report arrives once the invoice is paid, with a page for each door. Send us the postcode and the door count and we will say how long we think yours will take.
