Fire Door Surveys in Gravesend

Gravesend landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door surveys with straightforward reports and fixed 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 Gravesend.

Common questions in Gravesend

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 Gravesend?

Yes. As well as Gravesend itself we cover nearby towns including Grays, Strood and South Ockendon.

Which fire safety law applies in Gravesend?

Gravesend 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.

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.
