Colchester FAQs

Do you cover the area around Colchester?

Yes. As well as Colchester itself we cover nearby towns including Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Colchester?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings?

Yes. Most remedial work happens in occupied blocks, schools and workplaces, with doors kept closable and the escape route clear throughout.
