Fire Door Replacement in Stowmarket: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Stowmarket?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Stowmarket?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Stowmarket 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.
