Questions from South Benfleet clients

Can you price remedial work in South Benfleet from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in South Benfleet, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in South Benfleet?

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

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.
