Questions from Whitehaven clients

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Whitehaven?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Whitehaven?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Whitehaven 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.
