Common questions in Carlisle

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Carlisle?

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

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.

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Carlisle?

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.
