Common questions in Taunton

Which fire safety law applies in Taunton?

Taunton is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Taunton?

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

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.
