Fire Door Replacement in the Isle of Wight: questions
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.
What happens to the old doors?
They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in the Isle of Wight?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. the Isle of Wight is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in the Isle of Wight?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in the Isle of Wight can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
