Common questions in Reading

Will the door still be a certified fire door after repair?

The aim of remedial work is to restore the door's original performance using compatible components and methods. Where a repair would go outside what the door's evidence supports, we will recommend replacement instead.

How long does each door take?

Most doors take one to three hours. Gap correction or glazing work can take longer, and doors are made safe before we leave each day.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Reading?

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

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Reading can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
