Fire Door Surveys in Chelmsford

Responsible persons in Chelmsford can book fire door surveys with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Chelmsford.

Fire Door Surveys in Chelmsford: 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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chelmsford?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Chelmsford?

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.
