Fire Door Surveys in Cambridge

We provide fire door surveys for buildings in Cambridge and the CB2 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Cambridge.

Questions from Cambridge clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cambridge?

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

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 survey a whole portfolio?

Yes. Multi-site surveys are scheduled building by building and delivered as one register so you can compare buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Cambridge?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Cambridge can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
