Common questions in Dumfries

Do you cover the area around Dumfries?

Yes. As well as Dumfries itself we cover nearby towns including Carlisle, Workington and Whitehaven.

Does regulation 10 apply in Dumfries?

No. Dumfries is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.

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.

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.
