What to check before ordering fire glazing surveys in Ormskirk
What a survey can and cannot show
A visual survey records marks, materials and visible defects. It cannot prove a frame's rating without evidence, so we flag unknowns clearly rather than guessing.
Re-survey after works
We can re-inspect after remedial work and update the schedule.
Prioritised output
Defects are graded so you can fix urgent items first and plan the rest.
