Fire Door Surveys in Hove

From the BN3 district outwards, we cover Hove and neighbouring towns such as Brighton and Portslade for 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.

Hove FAQs

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.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Hove?

Hove is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Hove?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Hove can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
