Fire Door Surveys in Brighton

Fire Door Surveys in Brighton, East Sussex: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Brighton.

Common questions in Brighton

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.

Can you price remedial work in Brighton from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Brighton, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Brighton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Brighton 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.
