Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches fire door inspectors tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Reports take all weekend
A block with 80 fire doors means hours collating photos and measurements into a tidy report. Build the Fire Door Inspection Record as you go and hand the responsible person a finished document, not a backlog.
Chasing payment
Invoice the moment the survey is signed off, take card or Direct Debit, and chase late-paying managing agents automatically.
