Questions from Hitchin clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hitchin?

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

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.

Can you price remedial work in Hitchin from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Hitchin, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
