Hatfield FAQs

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 Hatfield?

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

Do you cover the area around Hatfield?

Yes. As well as Hatfield itself we cover nearby towns including Welwyn Garden City, St Albans and Potters Bar.

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.
