Fire Door Surveys in Peterlee

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.

Peterlee FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Peterlee?

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

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.

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.
