Common questions in Sunderland

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sunderland?

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

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