Questions from Reading clients

Do you cover the area around Reading?

Yes. As well as Reading itself we cover nearby towns including Lower Earley, Wokingham and Crowthorne.

Which fire safety law applies in Reading?

Reading 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 repair a fire door from photos?

We can usually diagnose and price common faults from clear photos of the whole door, the edges and the hardware. Some faults, such as a warped leaf, need a site visit to measure.

Do you use the original manufacturer's parts?

Where they are available and appropriate. Otherwise we use components with suitable fire test evidence for the door type.
