FIRE DOOR SURVEYS · KENT & LONDON
Fire door surveys in Medway & Kent
Detailed doorset inspections for landlords, managing agents, housing providers and businesses. Based in Gillingham, serving Medway, Kent and London by arrangement.
FROM DOOR TO ACTION
Know which doors need attention.
A door may look sound but still need attention to its closer, seals, frame or ironmongery. A dedicated survey records the accessible doorsets within the agreed scope and explains the findings and recommended next steps.
Darren J Young MIFSM combines fire safety assessment work with fire door inspection and is the author of Fire Doors – The No-Nonsense Guide.
AN AGREED INSPECTION SCOPE
What we look at.
Fittings and operation
Hinges, ironmongery, closing action and any visible issues affecting the doorset’s operation.
Clear records
Door identification, findings and recommended actions, with photographs and reporting detail agreed for your instruction.
Help us prepare the right quotation.
Send the premises postcode, approximate number of doors, building use, available door records and any access restrictions. If an FRA has already identified door defects, include the relevant findings.
We confirm the scope, limitations, access and fee before the visit. Further investigation, opening-up work and remedial works are separately agreed.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your questions, answered.
What is included in a fire door survey?
The agreed inspection scope can cover the visible condition and operation of the door leaf, frame, hinges, seals, gaps, glazing and self-closing arrangements. We confirm access, the doors to inspect and the reporting format before booking.
Is a fire door survey the same as a fire risk assessment?
They serve different purposes. An FRA considers the wider premises within its scope. A dedicated fire door survey looks in more detail at individual doorsets. Tell us whether you need one service or both.
Will the survey certify my doors or include repairs?
We agree the type of inspection and evidence you need before booking. An inspection report is not automatically product certification or approval of concealed construction. Repairs, replacement and any later verification are separately agreed.
How much does a fire door inspection cost?
We quote for the number of doors, their locations, access arrangements and the inspection and reporting scope. Send an approximate door count and premises postcode for a quotation.
Can you survey doors at several properties?
Yes. Share the property list, approximate door count at each site and your preferred access arrangements so a coordinated scope and quotation can be agreed.
