Signs your doors may need checking

Older doors behave differently from modern ones. A warped frame might be harmless settling or a sign the door will fail under heat. Only a physical check settles it.

Gaps around the edges of the door
Worn hinges or warping can leave spaces that let smoke through early. Measuring those gaps with gauges confirms whether they fall within limits.
The door does not shut by itself
A broken or missing closer leaves the door open during a fire. Testing the closing speed shows if adjustment or replacement is needed.
Painted over hinges or edges
Thick paint layers stop intumescent strips from expanding when heated. Stripping a small section reveals the original seal condition.
Cracks in the door panels
Timber splits compromise the barrier. Tapping and visual checks determine if the panel still holds its rating or needs replacing.

What shapes the cost of inspecting doors

Every building differs. The number of doors, their age and how easily they can be reached all change the time a specialist needs on site.

The specialist explains the exact cost of your job before any work is agreed.

Number of doorsets
Each door takes a set amount of time to measure, test and record. More doors mean a longer visit.
Age and conversion history
Converted house fire door requirements vary. Older frames may need careful handling to avoid damage during testing.
Access to individual flats
Gaining entry to every unit in a converted building adds coordination time to the schedule.
Remedial work needed
If an old doors fire rating upgrade is required, the scope of that follow-on work changes the overall cost.
