Canterbury FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Canterbury?

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

Do you cover the area around Canterbury?

Yes. As well as Canterbury itself we cover nearby towns including Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.

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.

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.
