Fire Door Surveys in Gateshead

We provide fire door surveys for buildings in Gateshead and the NE8 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

In short: 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.

Gateshead FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Gateshead?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gateshead?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Gateshead 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.

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.
