Questions from Durham clients

Do you cover the area around Durham?

Yes. As well as Durham itself we cover nearby towns including Chester-le-Street, Houghton-Le-Spring and Stanley.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Durham?

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

What format is the register?

A spreadsheet export is always provided, with photos. It can be imported into most asset and compliance systems.

Does tagging change the fire rating?

No. Tags are small, fixed with short pins or adhesive in positions that do not affect the door's construction.
