Birmingham FAQs

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

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

Can I fit any lock to a fire door?

No. The lock must be suitable for fire doors and fitted within the size limits of the door's evidence, often with intumescent protection around the mortice.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Birmingham?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Birmingham 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.
