Fire Door Surveys in Reading

Looking for a fire door survey in Reading? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Reading and surrounding parts of Berkshire, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Reading.

Reading is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Can you survey a whole portfolio?
