Fire Door Surveys in Plymouth

Need a fire door survey in Plymouth? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Plymouth.

Questions from Plymouth clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Plymouth?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Plymouth?

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

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.
