Common questions in Rochester

Can a damaged fire door be repaired or does it need replacing?

Many faults can be repaired: closers, hinges, seals, small edge damage and beads. Holes through the leaf, major splits, delamination or damage to the frame often mean the door should be replaced. We will tell you which applies and why.

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 Rochester?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Rochester?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Rochester can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
