Guide price only. The firm we pass your enquiry to sets its own price once it knows the building.

What changes the price

The band above is a guide. What a firm actually quotes for fire door inspection turns on a handful of things about the building:

  • number of doors in scope
  • whether flat entrance doors are included
  • building height and tenure
  • whether remedial work is quoted at the same visit
  • access arrangements for occupied flats

How the enquiry works

  1. You send the details of the building on this page.
  2. We pass them to a fire safety firm working in that area.
  3. That firm contacts you directly and quotes its own price.
  4. You deal with them from there. We take no part in the work.
