Jarrow FAQs

Do you need to remove the doors?

No. Inspections are non-intrusive. The inspector measures, operates and photographs each door in place and only lifts away removable items such as letter-plate covers where it is safe to do so.

What happens if a door fails?

The report lists exactly which components failed and why. Each item is priced separately, so you can approve the urgent fixes first and plan the rest.

Do you cover the area around Jarrow?

Yes. As well as Jarrow itself we cover nearby towns including Hebburn, Wallsend and South Shields.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Jarrow?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Jarrow is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
