Questions from Swinton clients

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Swinton?

Yes. As well as Swinton itself we cover nearby towns including Eccles, Walkden and Salford.

Which fire safety law applies in Swinton?

Swinton 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.
