Fire Door Replacement in Christchurch: questions

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 cover the area around Christchurch?

Yes. As well as Christchurch itself we cover nearby towns including Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole.

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 Christchurch?

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