How is a survey different from a routine inspection?

A survey is typically broader in scope and used to establish a full baseline across a building or portfolio. It is ideal when you need a complete inventory of conditions and defects rather than a periodic spot-check against an existing programme.

Can you survey occupied buildings?

Yes. We plan access carefully and carry out the work in a way that minimises disruption to residents, staff, and visitors while still gathering the evidence needed for a reliable report.

Do you provide recommendations after the survey?

Yes. Each survey report includes prioritised actions so you can distinguish immediate safety issues from medium-term maintenance and longer-term replacement needs.

Fire Door Surveys

Door-by-door compliance audits for complete visibility.

Our fire door surveys give landlords, managing agents, and facilities teams a clear picture of every compliant, borderline, and failed door across a building or estate.
