Questions from Acton clients

Do you cover the area around Acton?

Yes. As well as Acton itself we cover nearby towns including Chiswick, Shepherds Bush and Willesden.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Acton?

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