Common questions in Portsmouth

Do you cover the area around Portsmouth?

Yes. As well as Portsmouth itself we cover nearby towns including Gosport, Fareham and Ryde.

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 Portsmouth?

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