Fire door inspection in Beckenham
Converted houses and small blocks, where every flat has a different front door.
Get a priceBeckenham is in the London Borough of Bromley, so everything on our home page applies.
The job we get asked about here is the converted house. One front door from the street, a shared hall, and a stair up to three or four flats.
The stair door is the one that matters
In a house with flats off one stair, the stair is the only way out. If a fire starts in one flat and the front door of that flat does not hold, the stair fills with smoke and the people above are cut off.
So we start with each flat's front door, then the door at the foot of the stair, then any door at a half landing.
Mixed doors on one landing
You often find four doors and no two alike. One original, cut down and repainted many times. One put in by a landlord in a hurry. One with a letterbox someone cut through the middle.
Each gets its own line in the report. One may need only a new closer. Another may need replacing.
Small blocks
For a block of a few flats with no managing agent, the freeholder or the residents' company is the responsible person. If you are one of the residents running it, you need the doors checked and a record kept.
Our flats page covers how the access works.
