Peterborough FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Peterborough?

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

Do you cover the area around Peterborough?

Yes. As well as Peterborough itself we cover nearby towns including Stamford, March and Spalding.

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.

Can you fit a fire door into the existing frame?

Sometimes, if the frame is sound, compatible with the new leaf and the leaf's evidence allows it. Often a complete doorset is cheaper over the door's life and easier to evidence.
