Questions from Cowes clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cowes?

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

Can you fill a large gap with extra intumescent strip?

Not as a general fix. Gaps outside tolerance are usually corrected by re-hanging, lipping or adjusting the frame, because oversized intumescent strips are not a substitute for a door that fits.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Cowes?

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.

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.
