Questions from Ellesmere Port Town clients

Which fire safety law applies in Ellesmere Port Town?

Ellesmere Port Town is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?

It records the evidence available: labels, plugs, glazing marks, hardware markings and construction. Where there is no evidence of a fire rating, the report says so, so the fire risk assessor can decide what to do.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Ellesmere Port Town from another company's report?

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