Fire Door Surveys & Inspections for Chelmsford buildings
Fire doors hold back fire and smoke long enough to evacuate the building. Under Regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, Responsible Persons of high-rise residential buildings must carry out quarterly checks on flat entrance fire doors and annual checks on communal fire doors.

Why this matters in Chelmsford
Common defects — excessive gaps, missing intumescent strips, painted-over hinges, unrated closers — render the entire door non-compliant. Post-Grenfell, this is one of the highest enforcement focus areas in the country.
