For facilities, landlords and buyers
Our commercial fire door survey in London records, measures and prices every fire door on your site. You get a costed schedule and door register you can use to set budgets, plan works or check a building before you buy or lease it.
Surveying commercial buildings
Many sites do not know how many fire doors they have, let alone what state they are in. Old fit-outs, tenant changes and missing paperwork all blur the picture.
A commercial fire door survey fixes that. Every door is numbered, photographed, measured and given a condition, so you finally have a complete register.
Each door is marked as fine, needing repair or needing replacement, with a price. Totals are split by urgency.
Finance teams can approve spend with confidence, and facilities teams can tender the work or hand it straight to us.
Need a survey of homes or shared houses as well? Our London fire door surveys cover every kind of property.
Once you have the schedule, commercial fire door remedial works can carry out every line in phases.
What we record
Each door is surveyed against the same checklist, so the schedule is consistent across the whole site.
FD30, FD60 or unknown, with any label or plug details noted.
Leaf and frame measured for ordering.
Closers, hinges, locks and access control recorded by type and condition.
Seal condition and gap readings.
Glass type and beads checked.
How the frame is fixed and whether the gap behind it is sealed.
How it works
Planned around your site and your deadlines.
Floor plans and any old door lists help us plan the route.
Every door numbered, measured and photographed, out of hours if needed.
Repair or replace advice, each with a cost.
A costed schedule and door register, ready to budget from.

Your budget
The schedule splits costs by urgency, so you can spread spend across the year without leaving risks open.

Risers, plant rooms and stores often add 20 to 30 per cent to the door count.

What facilities managers, landlords and buyers ask about surveys.
Surveys usually cost £40–£90 per door before VAT, with a minimum fee of £450–£850 per building. The more doors on site, the lower the rate for each. The fee covers the survey, measurements, photos and a costed schedule. You get a fixed fee before we visit, and the schedule is yours to keep and share.
It is a full record of every fire door on a site and the state it is in. Each door is checked, measured and photographed, then marked as fine, needing repair or needing replacement, with a price. It gives you a full picture of the site in one document.
An inspection gives each door a pass or fail. A survey also measures, prices and advises on every door. Choose a survey when you need a budget, a tender document or a full door register. Many sites start with a survey, then use regular inspections to keep the register up to date.
Yes. The schedule splits costs by urgency, so you can fund urgent work now and plan the rest over the year. Finance teams find it much easier to approve spend with real numbers. Costs can be grouped by floor, by zone or by quarter, to match the way your budget works. Urgent items are always shown first.
It is a good idea. Fire door work can be costly, and it is often missed in general building surveys. A door survey tells you what you are taking on before you sign. The schedule can also help you negotiate, as it puts a clear figure on the work needed.
Yes. Each door gets a number that matches the register and, if you want, a small tag on the frame. This makes future inspections and repairs much easier to track. The same numbers can be used by other contractors, so every report and invoice refers to the same door. It saves a lot of confusion on large sites.
Yes. We can survey before opening, after closing or at weekends, so staff are not disturbed. Many offices prefer us to work early in the morning or in the evening, when corridors and stairs are quiet. We agree access with building security in advance, and the price is fixed before we start.
Yes. The schedule is yours. It lists each door, what it needs and the sizes, so other contractors can price the same work. We are also happy to quote. Because every contractor prices the same list, it is much easier to compare quotes fairly.
A small office might take half a day. A large site with hundreds of doors may take several days. You get the schedule within a week or two, depending on size. We agree a timescale before we start, so you can plan around it. If you have a deadline, such as a purchase, tell us.
A full survey is usually needed only once, then kept up to date through inspections. Repeat it after a major refit, a change of use or if the register falls out of date. Keeping the register current through regular checks is much cheaper than repeating a full survey.
