Fire Door Replacement in Somerset: questions
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.
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.

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