Fire Door Surveys: 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.

Fire Door Surveys in West Sussex: questions
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.
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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in West Sussex?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. West Sussex 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 West Sussex?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in West Sussex can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
