Know Your Fire Doors Are Fit for Purpose
Fire doors are installed to slow the spread of fire and smoke but simply having them in place does not mean they will continue to provide the protection expected of them. Damage, everyday wear, incorrect alterations and problems with individual components can all affect how a door performs.
Here at J&D Carpentry, we carry out comprehensive fire door surveys in Norwich, helping building owners, landlords and those responsible for commercial and residential premises understand the condition of their existing doors. Our experienced team can identify defects and advise on the work required to keep your fire doors safe and compliant.
What does a fire door survey involve?
A thorough fire door check looks beyond the condition of the door leaf itself. The frame, hinges, closers, intumescent strips, smoke seals, glazing and ironmongery all contribute towards the performance of the complete door set and therefore need to be carefully assessed. We also examine the gaps around each door and look for signs of damage or unapproved alterations. As an experienced fire door surveyor, J&D Carpentry understands what to look for and why seemingly minor defects can matter.
Our fire door surveys provide a clear picture of the condition of your doors, allowing any necessary action to be planned appropriately.

Identifying problems before they compromise safety
Fire doors in busy buildings are particularly susceptible to wear and tear. Hinges can loosen, seals may become damaged and door closers can stop operating correctly over time. Regular fire door inspection and maintenance can help uncover and rectify these problems before they become more serious.
Following your survey, we can explain which doors require adjustment or repair and whether any have deteriorated to the point where fire door replacement should be considered.
Where remedial work is required, our team can also carry out fire door repairs in Norwich, providing you with continuity of service. When you appoint J&D Carpentry, you can rely on one local company from the initial assessment through to completion of any remedial work.
Supporting ongoing fire door compliance
The frequency of inspections will depend on the building, its use and the condition of the doors. Higher traffic environments may require more frequent inspections due to the amount of daily use their fire doors receive.

We can survey and maintain a variety of fire doors in Norwich, including FD30 doors, FD60 doors, glazed fire doors, steel fire doors and custom made fire doors.
