Common questions in Herne Bay

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Herne Bay?

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

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.
