Oxford FAQs

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Oxford?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Oxford?

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

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.

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.
