Common questions in Whitefield

Can you price remedial work in Whitefield from another company's report?

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

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 Whitefield?

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