It will normally be recorded as a fail or advisory. It is quick and cheap to fix, so it is best done on the same visit.

Can you price remedial work in Carlisle from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Carlisle, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
