Fire Door Surveys in Tipton: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Tipton?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Tipton 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.

Which fire safety law applies in Tipton?

Tipton 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 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.
