Fire Door Surveys in Cheshire
We provide fire door surveys across Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester and Crewe, with the same report format and pricing wherever your buildings are.
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.

Fire Door Surveys in Cheshire: questions
Can the survey support a section 20 consultation?
Yes. The costed schedule gives a clear description of the proposed works and their budget, which you can use when consulting leaseholders. Formal consultation remains the landlord's responsibility.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cheshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cheshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Cheshire?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Cheshire can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
