Fire door maintenance in Birmingham

Fire door maintenance in Birmingham covers what happens after the first inspection: a re-inspection once repairs are done, and planned visits for buildings that need their doors checked on a schedule. Call 07770 643480 or use the booking form to arrange the first visit.

Re-inspection after repairs

Once repairs are finished I return and inspect the repaired doors. The report is updated to show them as they are now, so a council, assessor or insurer can see the faults were dealt with.

Planned checks for blocks

For residential buildings taller than 11 metres, the 2022 fire safety regulations set a 3-month minimum for communal door checks and a 12-month minimum, on best endeavours, for flat entrance doors. I can plan both as repeat visits, and How often should fire doors be inspected explains the rules in more detail.

Keeping your records

Every visit leaves you with a digital report, photos of each door and a list of what failed. Kept in one place, these become a running record for the building's fire risk assessment. Failed access attempts are written down too, which the 2022 regulations ask for in buildings over 11 metres.

Reminders when the next check is due

When you book, tell me how often each building needs checking. I can book the next visit with you at the end of each one, so the date is already in both diaries.

FAQ

Questions about repeat checks and keeping fire door records up to date.

Can you plan checks across several buildings?

Yes. List the buildings with their number of doors and the check frequency each one needs, and I plan the visits around my inspection slots. Each building is priced on its own door count.

Do you inspect doors after repairs?

Yes. After repairs I go back, inspect the work and update the report so you have proof the faults were fixed.

How are repeat checks recorded?

Each visit produces a digital report with a pass or fail and photos for every door. Kept together, the reports give you a dated history of each door. Doors I couldn't reach are recorded as not inspected, never as passed.
