Questions from Felixstowe clients

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

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

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 Felixstowe?

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