Ilkeston FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ilkeston?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Ilkeston 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 Ilkeston from another company's report?

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

Why won't my fire door close properly?

Common causes are a closer set too weak, a latch out of line with the keep, dropped hinges, a seal binding at the edge, or flooring that has raised the threshold. We find the cause before adjusting the closer.

Can fire doors be held open?

Only with a device designed to release the door automatically when the fire alarm sounds, such as an acoustic or alarm-linked electromagnetic hold-open. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable on fire doors.
