Questions from Dartford clients

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dartford?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Dartford 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 Dartford?

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.
