Common questions in Rochester

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Rochester?

Rochester is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Do you provide paperwork?

Yes. You receive the product's certification or test evidence, an installation record and photographs for each door.

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.
