Fire Door Surveys in Thetford

We provide fire door surveys for buildings in Thetford and the IP24 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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.

Common questions in Thetford

Do you cover the area around Thetford?

Yes. As well as Thetford itself we cover nearby towns including Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and Stowmarket.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Thetford?

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