Fire Door Surveys in Cardiff

Need a fire door survey in Cardiff? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Cardiff.

Fire Door Surveys in Cardiff: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Cardiff?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, and the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed flat entrance doors in multi-occupied residential buildings are within scope.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Cardiff?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Cardiff can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.
