Fire Door Surveys in Shipley

From the BD18 district outwards, we cover Shipley and neighbouring towns such as Bradford and Guiseley for 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. We use the same method for buildings in Shipley.

Shipley FAQs

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 work in occupied buildings in Shipley?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Shipley?

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

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.
