Questions from Darwen clients

Can you price remedial work in Darwen from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Darwen, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Darwen?

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

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.
