We have reports for several properties. Can they be priced together?

Yes, and it is usually the better way to do it. Sending everything at once lets us price consistently across the portfolio, group work geographically, and identify where the same defect repeats so it can be handled as a batch rather than as separate call-outs.

Do all the doors have to be replaced?

Rarely. Most portfolio schedules come back as a mix, and the repairable proportion is usually larger than owners expect. We price repair where the construction and condition support it and replacement where the required performance cannot reasonably be restored, so you can see the trade-off door by door rather than being handed a single replacement figure.

How do you handle access to tenanted properties?

By planning it as part of the programme rather than hoping for it on the day. We agree notice arrangements, appointment windows and key or agent access with you in advance, work in rounds so a missed property does not stall the rest, and record no-access doors so they stay visible until they are done.

Can we spread the work across financial years?

Yes. Once the schedule is itemised by door and property, it can be phased by priority and budget. We would normally suggest sequencing by the role of the door and the severity of the finding rather than purely by cost, so the most significant items are not the ones deferred.

Do you carry out the inspections as well?

Formal door-by-door inspection reports are arranged through a specialist fire door inspection contractor where one is required, and we can arrange that for you. Parsec Fire Doors carries out the repairs, remedials, installation and replacement, and works directly from existing reports or FRA action lists. Our pre-works site assessment confirms remedial scope and is not a formal inspection report.

Fire Door Replacement Programmes for Landlords & Property Portfolios

A report across ten properties is not ten small jobs. This page is about how a landlord's inspection findings become one priced, sequenced programme of repair and replacement that can actually be delivered around tenants.

The Position Most Landlords Are In

You hold reports or FRA action lists across several properties, written by different assessors at different times, in different formats. Some entries are specific. Some say little more than “fire door defective”. The total looks alarming, and there is no obvious order in which to tackle it.

What is usually missing is not willingness to do the work — it is a costed, door-by-door picture that separates what must be done now from what can be planned, and that is realistic about access to tenanted property. That picture is what we produce before any work starts.

From Report to Programme

Step one

Send us what you hold

Inspection reports, FRA action lists, schedules or photographs, for as many properties as you like. Mixed formats are normal and not a problem.

Step two

Itemised quotation by door

Each entry priced against a door reference and property, with repair and replacement separated so the trade-off is visible rather than buried in a total.

Step three

Verification where entries are vague

Where a finding is too general to price safely, we confirm scope on site before works. This confirms remedial scope; it is not a formal inspection report.

Step four

Sequencing and phasing

Work ordered by the role of the door and the severity of the finding, grouped geographically, and phased across budgets or financial years where needed.

Step five

Access planning around tenants

Notice arrangements, appointment windows, agent or key access, and rounds so one missed property does not hold up the programme.

Step six

Completion and close-out

Works recorded against door references with photographs and outstanding items listed, so your building file reflects what was actually done.

What Makes Portfolio Work Different

Single-building programmes are largely a sequencing exercise. Portfolios add repetition, travel and inconsistency, and those are where the money is either saved or lost.

Consistent pricing and decisions across every property, not per visit
Repeated defects handled as batches rather than as individual attendances
Geographic grouping so travel is not paid for property by property
Doorset specifications standardised where the buildings genuinely allow it
Tenanted access treated as a planning task with rounds and follow-ups
One record set covering the whole programme, indexed by property and door

Repair First, Replace Where It Is Right

We do not arrive with a replacement quotation as a starting position. Where the construction and condition support it, component work on seals, hinges and closers resolves a large share of findings at a fraction of the cost, as set out in repair or replacement.

Where replacement is the sound answer, we supply and install documented doorsets and the product information forms part of your handover records. If your properties are HMOs or flats, see HMO fire doors and flat entrance fire doors.
