Questions from Stowmarket clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stowmarket?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Stowmarket?

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

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.
