Fire Door Surveys in Somerset
Across Somerset, from Bath to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door surveys for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
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.

Fire Door Surveys in Somerset: questions
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 Somerset?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Somerset is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Somerset?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Somerset can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
