Fire Door Surveys in North Shields

From the NE30 district outwards, we cover North Shields and neighbouring towns such as Tynemouth and South Shields for fire door surveys.

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.

Questions from North Shields clients

Which fire safety law applies in North Shields?

North Shields is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you work in occupied buildings in North Shields?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in North Shields 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.
