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 Cumbria: questions
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 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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cumbria?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cumbria 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 Cumbria?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Cumbria can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
