Fire Door Surveys in Aberdeen

From the AB11 district outwards, we cover Aberdeen and neighbouring towns such as Arbroath and Dundee for fire door surveys.

A fire door survey is a more detailed version of an inspection, used when you need to plan and budget: it grades every defect by urgency, decides whether each door should be repaired, upgraded or replaced, and turns the findings into a costed schedule of works.

Questions from Aberdeen clients

Do you measure for new doors during the survey?

Where a door is likely to need replacing we record the leaf and opening sizes, so a replacement quotation can follow without a second visit in most cases.

Which fire safety law applies in Aberdeen?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

What is the difference between a fire door inspection and a survey?

An inspection records whether each door passes or fails. A survey goes further: it grades each defect, recommends repair, upgrade or replacement, and costs the work so you can budget.

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

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