Questions from Hartlepool clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hartlepool?

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

How many hinges does a fire door need?

Most single-leaf fire doors use three hinges; taller or heavier leaves may need four. The door's test evidence specifies the number and type.

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

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

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.
