Chatham FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Chatham?

Chatham 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.

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Chatham?

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.
