Washington FAQs

Do you cover the area around Washington?

Yes. As well as Washington itself we cover nearby towns including Chester-le-Street, Felling and Houghton-Le-Spring.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Washington?

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

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.
