Fire Door Inspection, High Rise (36 storeys)
In a 36-storey high-rise in Stratford, East London, a fire door inspection revealed several issues. Many fire doors had excessive gaps, compromising their ability to contain smoke. Damaged intumescent seals were prevalent, reducing their effectiveness.
Inspectors also found defective door closers, preventing proper self-closing. In some instances, ironmongery, such as hinges, was loose or damaged. These deficiencies highlight the need for regular, thorough fire door inspections and maintenance in high-rise buildings.
