Fire Door Surveys in Whitstable: questions

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.

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Whitstable?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Whitstable?

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