Fire Door Remedial Works in County Durham: questions
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.
Can you price remedial work from someone else's inspection report?
Yes. Send the report and we will price each line. If the report lacks the detail needed, such as gap readings or photos, we will say which doors need a quick revisit before we can price them.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in County Durham?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. County Durham is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in County Durham?
It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
