St Helens FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in St Helens?

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

What is the difference between a fire door and a fire doorset?

A fire door often means just the leaf. A doorset is the complete assembly, leaf, frame, seals and hardware, tested and supplied together. Doorsets remove much of the guesswork from installation and are usually the better choice for replacements.

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 price remedial work in St Helens from another company's report?

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