Fire Door Surveys.
A fire door inspection is a legal obligation. It is essential to ensure that your fire doors remain effective in stopping the spread of fire and smoke. This inspection helps detect any problems or deficiencies that could jeopardise the safety of occupants and property in the event of a fire.
Fire Door Surveys - what's involved?
