South Shields FAQs

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in South Shields?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Can you survey a whole portfolio?

Yes. Multi-site surveys are scheduled building by building and delivered as one register so you can compare buildings.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in South Shields?

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