Questions from Plymouth clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Plymouth?

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

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Plymouth?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Plymouth can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
