Common questions in Ilkeston

Do you work in occupied buildings in Ilkeston?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ilkeston?

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