Common questions in Didcot

Do you work in occupied buildings in Didcot?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Didcot can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

How long does a replacement take?

Most single doorsets are replaced within a day, including making good. Doors are never left unable to close at the end of a working day.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Didcot?

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