Kingston upon Hull FAQs

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.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Kingston upon Hull from another company's report?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kingston upon Hull?

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