Fire door inspection Tolworth in Tolworth Fire Doors

Door checks and related services

Each service below is carried out by a separate specialist firm. You receive a detailed report and plain guidance on what to do next for your building.

  • Fire door inspection

    The specialist examines every fire door, including flat entrance doors in converted houses and communal ones. They measure gaps against accepted fire door gap tolerance using feeler gauges, check intumescent seals and test self-closing devices. Pre-war original doors rarely pass without modification, so the report explains how to upgrade old fire doors or where replacement is necessary. For a building with a handful of doors, the inspection takes under an hour per door and causes little disruption. You receive a written record of each door's condition.

  • Compartmentation survey

    Where a fire door check in Tolworth looks at individual doors, a compartmentation survey examines the whole barrier system. The specialist inspects walls, floors, ceilings and risers to confirm that fire and smoke cannot bypass the doors you have just had checked. In high-rise concrete residential blocks this includes rigorous inspection of communal dry risers and smoke ventilation lobbies. You get a floor-by-floor plan showing where compartmentation has failed and what materials a contractor should use to restore it.

  • Fire risk assessment

    A fire door survey in Surrey often starts because a wider fire risk assessment flagged damaged or missing doors. The assessor reviews escape routes, alarm systems, storage habits and the people who use the building. They set the frequency for future checks: flat entrance doors in buildings over eleven metres must be inspected annually, while communal doors need checking every three months. You receive a prioritised action list. If the council or fire service has written to you, the assessment gives you the evidence needed to respond properly.

See all areas covered
Pre-1919 housing stock
Over a fifth of homes date before 1919, meaning many internal doors were never built to resist fire or smoke spread.
Mid-century conversions
Another 58 percent of homes were built between 1919 and 1982, often later split into flats with ageing door frames.
High-rise concrete blocks
Larger towers require rigorous inspection of communal dry risers and smoke ventilation lobbies alongside standard door checks.
