Fire Door Surveys in Maidstone

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Maidstone, our fire door surveys follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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.

Questions from Maidstone clients

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.

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 Maidstone?

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

Can you price remedial work in Maidstone from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Maidstone, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
