Fire Door Replacement in Suffolk: questions
What happens to the old doors?
They are removed from site and disposed of responsibly.
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 Suffolk?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Suffolk 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 Suffolk?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Suffolk can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
