Fire Door Surveys in Kent: 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.
Which fire safety law applies in Kent?
Kent 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.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Kent?
It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
