Urgent Fire Door Repairs in Chelmsford: questions

Is a temporary repair enough?

A make-safe gets the door closing and latching. It is recorded as temporary until a permanent repair or replacement restores the door's certified performance.

Can you help with an insurance claim?

We photograph the damage and provide a written description and quotation that insurers usually ask for.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chelmsford?

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

Do you cover the area around Chelmsford?

Yes. As well as Chelmsford itself we cover nearby towns including Billericay, Witham and Maldon.
