Questions from Rayleigh clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Rayleigh?

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.

What happens to the old doors?

They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Rayleigh?

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