North Watford FAQs

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

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

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 North Watford?

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

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.
