Stowmarket FAQs

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Stowmarket?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stowmarket?

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