Common questions in Dover

Which fire safety law applies in Dover?

Dover 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.

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Dover?

Yes. As well as Dover itself we cover nearby towns including Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury.
