Fire door inspection in Kings Langley

It was a job for a homecare provider. Three properties across Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley, 16 doors in all. We inspected them and wrote them up.
What that job taught us
The properties were houses. They were not built as care homes, and nothing about the doors told you a care service ran from them.
Doors in a house like that get handled by many different hands. Bedroom doors are the ones most often adjusted by whoever has a screwdriver, so we look at them hardest.
Each house got its own list. We did not assume the second one matched the first.
If you run a care house
Walk your own doors first. Open each one halfway and let go. If it does not click shut, make a note. That is free, and it takes ten minutes.
An inspection goes further. We gauge each gap, check each seal and look at the fixings. Then you have something to hand to a contractor and something to show your inspector or commissioner.
Our page on care and supported living doors goes through what we look at.
Flats and shops
Kings Langley is a village on the Grand Union Canal and the railway. If you manage a small block, or flats over a commercial unit, you will find the same checks apply.
Under 11 metres, the Fire Safety Order still applies and the doors still need to be in working order. Over 11 metres, add the three-month and twelve-month checks from the 2022 Regulations.
Local authority
Dacorum Borough Council covers Kings Langley. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the enforcing authority for fire safety.
Getting here
About 30 minutes from Luton. It is one of the shorter runs we do, and it often sits between a Hemel Hempstead visit and one in Watford.
