Typical fire door findings in Berkshire
In Berkshire we frequently see issues arising from phased refurbishments and fit-outs. Common defects include:
- Mismatched door and frame combinations with no clear certification trail
- Doors that have been altered to accommodate floor finishes or new thresholds
- Hardware changes (for example, access control) that have not been considered from a fire perspective
- Inconsistent fire door signage, particularly in shared basement and plant areas
- Doors that fail to self-close on all latches due to poor adjustment or damage
Your report sets out the issues and recommended actions clearly, making it easier to brief contractors and demonstrate that you are actively managing fire safety.
Our fire door inspection approach in Berkshire
- Scoping and scheduling. We work with you to agree the number of doors, buildings and timescales, taking account of occupier needs.
- Detailed inspections. Each fire door set is assessed against relevant standards and manufacturer information where available.
- Clear reporting. You receive a digital report that can be filtered by building, floor, door type or priority level.
- Follow-up. We remain available to clarify any findings and support you in planning remedial works and re-inspections.
As inspection-only specialists, our focus is on giving you reliable information to base your decisions on.
