Questions from Wigan clients

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wigan?

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

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.
