Fire Door Replacement in Runcorn: questions

Do you cover the area around Runcorn?

Yes. As well as Runcorn itself we cover nearby towns including Widnes, Halewood and Speke.

Can residents stay in while flat doors are replaced?

Yes. Flat entrance doors are usually replaced in a single visit and the flat is never left without a lockable door.

Which fire safety law applies in Runcorn?

Runcorn is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
