Shipley FAQs

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.

Do you cover the area around Shipley?

Yes. As well as Shipley itself we cover nearby towns including Bradford, Guiseley and Yeadon.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Shipley?

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