Fire Door Surveys in Southampton

Responsible persons in Southampton 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 Southampton.

Fire Door Surveys in Southampton: 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.

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 cover the area around Southampton?

Yes. As well as Southampton itself we cover nearby towns including Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Southampton?

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