Fire Door Repairs in Darlington: questions

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 work in occupied buildings in Darlington?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Darlington 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 Darlington?

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

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.
