Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. The only constants DoorsetBook supplies are the published check frequencies and the storey height they apply from, cited where used. The defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
A fire door survey is the one-off walk of every door in a building that produces the register the quarterly and annual checks then run on: what each door is, what condition it is in, what it needs, and whether its certificate or label is there. For a small portfolio the survey is the largest single piece of fire door work and the least often costed. The fire door survey cost calculator on this site prices it from your own doors, floors, rate and access rate; Pro keeps the survey as the first record on every door.

Cost the survey per door before you commission it
Eighty-four doors at fifteen minutes each, eight floors at ten minutes moving between them, four hours writing the report and a surveyor's loaded rate is a figure per door, and the calculator prints it. Whether the survey is done in house or bought, that figure is what a quote is judged against.
Plan the revisit for the doors not accessed
Flat entrance doors need the resident in. At any access rate short of everything, a share of doors is missed on the day, and the calculator prints how many at your rate so the revisit is scheduled and costed rather than discovered. The evidence of the attempt goes on the door's record.
Make the survey the first record on the register
The survey is the baseline every later check is compared with: the door's rating, its closer, its seals, its gaps, its certificate. Pro files the survey against each door so the quarterly round starts from what was found rather than from a blank sheet.
Fire door surveys: common questions
How much does a fire door survey cost?
Your doors, your floors, your rate. The calculator on this site prints the hours, the cost and the cost per door from those inputs; the worked example is a starting point to replace, not a market price.
How long does a fire door survey take?
Minutes per door times doors, plus the time moving between floors, plus the report. The calculator prints the on-site hours and the surveyor days at seven hours a day.
Is there free fire door survey software?
The survey cost calculator and the inspection checklist on this site compute free with no account, and you can print the plan. DoorsetBook Pro holds the survey as the first record on every door, with photos, the certificate and the sign-off.

A survey that costs eighty doors and reaches seventy has not finished; the ten doors not accessed are the ten the fire authority will ask about, and the calculator counts them.
