Fire Door Surveys in Greater Manchester: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Greater Manchester?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Greater Manchester is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you cover the area around Greater Manchester?
Yes. As well as Greater Manchester itself we cover nearby towns including Manchester, Oldham and Wigan.
