Fire Door Replacement in Leicester: questions

What happens to the old doors?

They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Leicester?

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