01 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
Record uncertainty about concealed details
A maintenance visit may identify limits on what can be assessed without further investigation. Retain those limitations with the report and ask what additional information is needed. A surface repair or a successful closing check must not be read as confirmation of concealed construction that was not examined.

Context for the Bermondsey maintenance visit
For a conversion or refurbishment, gather the available information about the door and surrounding construction. Similar finishes can conceal different histories. Explain what is proposed for retention and what is uncertain, rather than relying on an overall corridor photograph to define the replacement arrangement.
03 / LOCAL MAINTENANCE & CARE
A record of the actual work
Ask for the work at your Bermondsey property to be identified against the original door references. The record should distinguish completed maintenance, items requiring further information and openings not accessed. Where our LPS 1197 scope applies, this concerns inspection, maintenance and repair of hinged and pivoted timber fire doorsets under term contracts; it is not a blanket certification of the building.
