Fire Door Replacement in Bristol: questions
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.
What happens to the old doors?
They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bristol?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Bristol is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
