Fire Door Tagging & Asset Registers in Colchester: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Colchester?

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

Can you price remedial work in Colchester from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Colchester, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Where is the tag fitted?

Usually on the top edge or hinge edge of the leaf, where it can be read without affecting the door's seals or performance.
