Common questions in St Albans

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.

What if the door cannot be made safe?

We will advise on immediate measures and inform the responsible person so the fire risk assessor can decide on interim arrangements.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in St Albans?

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

Yes. As well as St Albans itself we cover nearby towns including Harpenden, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead.
