Questions from South Benfleet clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in South Benfleet?

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

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.

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 South Benfleet from another company's report?

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