Fire Door Remedial Works in Folkestone: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Folkestone?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Folkestone?

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

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.
