Consett FAQs

My door slams. Is that a fault?

Yes. A slamming door wears hinges and frames and can injure users. The closing speed and latching action can usually be adjusted.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Consett?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Consett is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Can you price remedial work in Consett from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Consett, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

What closer does a fire door need?

A closer tested to BS EN 1154 with a power size suited to the door's width and weight, and evidence it can be used on the door type. Concealed closers need specific test evidence for the door.
