Margate FAQs

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 Margate?

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

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

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