Fire Door Surveys in Ramsgate

From the CT11 district outwards, we cover Ramsgate and neighbouring towns such as Broadstairs and Saint Peters for fire door surveys.

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 Ramsgate.

Fire doors in Ramsgate's buildings

Sea air is hard on hardware: corroded hinges and closers are a common fire door fault in coastal towns such as Ramsgate. Where a Ramsgate building has had a recent fire risk assessment, send it over and we will price against its actions.

Fire Door Surveys in Ramsgate: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Ramsgate?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ramsgate?

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

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.
