Fire door surveys for Hertfordshire buildings
Watford and Hemel Hempstead have absorbed a large volume of office-to-residential permitted development, much of it with no surviving fire strategy, while St Albans and Hertford add listed and conservation-area conversions.
We inspect every communal and flat entrance door against BS 8214 and hand back a numbered, photographed register with a pass, fail or advisory outcome for each one, plus a defect schedule a contractor can price without a second visit.
Full assembly inspection
Leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closers, glazing and ironmongery, not just a glance at the door face.
Gap and tolerance measurement
Head, jambs and threshold measured and recorded, with the reading noted against every door.
Regulation 10 evidence
Documentation you can rely on for the quarterly communal and annual flat entrance door checks in buildings above 11 metres.
We don’t sell doors
Survey work only, so there is no incentive to fail a door we would profit from replacing.

Fire safety enforcement in Hertfordshire
Enforcement of the Fire Safety Order here sits with Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which audits premises and communal areas and can issue informal notification letters, enforcement notices or, in serious cases, prohibition notices restricting use of the building.
District and borough councils across the county hold parallel powers over residential hazards under the Housing Act 2004, and licence HMOs locally. If you have received correspondence from either, send it to us with your quote request and we will work to the deadline in it.
Information for guidance only. We are not affiliated with Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service or your district council.
Had a letter or a notice?
Enforcement work is prioritised. Tell us the deadline when you get in touch and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can meet it before you commit to anything.

Fire door survey questions in Hertfordshire
How much does a fire door survey cost in Hertfordshire?
From £18 per door, falling to £15 per door on larger buildings and portfolios. There is no travel charge in Hertfordshire.
How often do fire doors need checking in Hertfordshire?
In buildings above 11 metres the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 require quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors. Below 11 metres the duty to maintain still applies under Article 17.
Do you need access inside every flat in Hertfordshire?
We inspect flat entrance doors from the communal side wherever possible. Where the annual check needs the occupier’s side, we agree an access plan with you first.
