Fire Door Surveys in Oldham

Looking for a fire door survey in Oldham? We inspect, repair and replace fire doors across Oldham and surrounding parts of Greater Manchester, with a door-by-door report and every remedial item priced separately.

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 Oldham.

Common questions in Oldham

Do you work in occupied buildings in Oldham?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Oldham?

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

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.

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.
