Get In Touch
Book an
inspection.
Speak directly with a qualified specialist. Each fire door is assessed against a comprehensive 30-point inspection by a certified fire door inspector. You'll receive a detailed, image backed report setting out what is compliant and what requires attention, with clear recommendations. Where it is safe and compliant to do so, we prioritise repair over replacement. Compliant doors are issued with certification on the same day.
Inspections are £30 + VAT per door. Fee deducted from invoice when you book remedial or replacement work within 60 days.
