Fire Door Surveys in Rochester

Rochester 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.

Common questions in Rochester

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Rochester?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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 Rochester?

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