Questions from Congleton clients

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Congleton?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Congleton?

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

Do you need to remove the doors?

No. Inspections are non-intrusive. The inspector measures, operates and photographs each door in place and only lifts away removable items such as letter-plate covers where it is safe to do so.
