Longton FAQs

Do you work in occupied buildings in Longton?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Longton can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Longton?

Longton is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.
