Fire Door Surveys in Canterbury: questions

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 Canterbury?

Yes. As well as Canterbury itself we cover nearby towns including Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Canterbury?

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