Common questions in Basildon

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Basildon?

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

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.

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

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Basildon, 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.
