Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

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.

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 Newcastle upon Tyne?

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