    A detailed visual and practical inspection to detect defects, damage, or non-compliant components that may affect fire performance.

    Repairs are carried out using BM TRADA Approved Repair Techniques (ARTs) to restore the door’s fire-resisting performance to its certified standard.

  • 4. Client Responsibilities & Compliance

    The Responsible Person ensures all inspection methods align with their fire risk assessment and approves any sampling or follow-up actions.

  • 5. Fire-Stopping Assessment

    We assess the fire-stopping around door frames; where full access isn’t possible, sample inspections are carried out and reported for client action.
