Common questions in Caterham

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Caterham?

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

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.

Yes. As well as Caterham itself we cover nearby towns including Coulsdon, Purley and Redhill.
