Fire Door Surveys in Staffordshire
Across Staffordshire, from Stoke-on-Trent 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 Staffordshire: questions
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.
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 Staffordshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Staffordshire can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
