Common questions in Tonbridge

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Tonbridge?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Tonbridge 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 Tonbridge?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Tonbridge 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.

What happens if a door fails?

The report lists exactly which components failed and why. Each item is priced separately, so you can approve the urgent fixes first and plan the rest.
