Bishop Auckland FAQs

Do you cover the area around Bishop Auckland?

Yes. As well as Bishop Auckland itself we cover nearby towns including Newton Aycliffe, Durham and Darlington.

What happens to the old doors?

They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.

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 Bishop Auckland?

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