Fire Door Surveys in Gillingham

We provide fire door surveys for buildings in Gillingham and the ME7 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: 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.

Common questions in Gillingham

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Gillingham?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Gillingham can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gillingham?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Gillingham 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.
