Fire door inspection in Greenhithe
Flats, back-of-house doors and business parks, around Bluewater and the river.
Get a priceMost people know Greenhithe for Bluewater.
For us, the interest is in what sits around it. Business parks, offices, hotels, restaurants and a lot of flats that have gone up in the last twenty years.
The jobs here are mostly commercial, and mostly about doors that staff use, not doors that residents use.
Back of house
Behind every shop, restaurant or hotel there is a corridor the public never sees. Staff doors, stock room doors, kitchen doors, doors to plant and bin stores.
They take heavy use and they are usually in a worse state than the doors the public can see. Trolley damage at the bottom. Closers that were taken off because they were slow. Kick plates screwed through the edge.
An inspection starts there, because that is where the problems tend to be.
Business parks
Offices and light industrial units cluster along the river and by the main roads. Each unit has its own set of doors and often its own landlord's responsibilities in the lease.
If you manage several units, we can do the lot in one visit. Our page on workplaces covers what we check and how we work around staff.
Flats near the river
There are blocks of flats on the Greenhithe and Stone side that have been built over a number of years. Some are fairly new, some are older. We treat each building on its merits.
The newest sometimes have the rushed-fitting faults described in our new-build flats page.
Local authority and fire service
Greenhithe and Stone are in the Borough of Dartford. Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire authority.
Getting here
We come from Luton and the route is the M25 round to the Crossing. It is about an hour and ten minutes in good conditions. We often combine Greenhithe with Ebbsfleet and Dartford.
Questions we get asked
Do hotel and restaurant doors count?
Yes. Any building where people work, sleep or gather has to have its fire doors kept in order.
Can we pick a quiet time for the inspection?
Yes. Tell us when the building is quietest.
Send us the postcode and a rough count of doors. A price comes back the same day.
