How does it work in Derbyshire?
Set up
We tag and reference every communal fire door on the first visit so each later check is like for like.

Each quarter the inspector checks every door and closer and records the result.

Faults are priced on the spot; small items such as closer adjustment can be done on the same visit if you pre-approve them.
