Questions from Widnes clients

Which fire safety law applies in Widnes?

Widnes is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do letter plates on flat doors need to be fire-rated?

Yes, where the flat entrance door is a fire door. Fire-rated letter plates include intumescent liners that close the opening in a fire.

Are cat flaps allowed in fire doors?

Not unless the flap is part of the door's tested design. A cat flap cut into a fire door, including many flat entrance doors, will normally make it non-compliant.

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

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