Fire Door Surveys in March

From the PE15 district outwards, we cover March and neighbouring towns such as Wisbech and Ely for fire door surveys.

In short: 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.

Common questions in March

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in March?

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

Do you cover the area around March?

Yes. As well as March itself we cover nearby towns including Wisbech, Ely and Peterborough.

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.

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.
