Fire Door Replacement in Dunstable: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Dunstable?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

How long does a replacement take?

Most single doorsets are replaced within a day, including making good. Doors are never left unable to close at the end of a working day.

When should a fire door be replaced rather than repaired?

When the leaf or frame is too damaged to repair within what its test evidence allows, when there is no evidence it is a fire door, or when the repair would cost more than a new doorset.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Dunstable?

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