Common questions in Kendal

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kendal?

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

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 Kendal from another company's report?

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