Fire Door Surveys in Kettering

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

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 Kettering.

Common questions in Kettering

Can you survey a whole portfolio?

Yes. Multi-site surveys are scheduled building by building and delivered as one register so you can compare buildings.

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 Kettering?

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

Do you cover the area around Kettering?

Yes. As well as Kettering itself we cover nearby towns including Wellingborough, Corby and Rushden.
