Bracknell FAQs

Do you need to remove architraves?

Often, yes. The frame gap is usually hidden behind the architrave, so we remove and refit it to inspect and seal properly.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Bracknell?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

Is expanding foam acceptable around a fire door frame?

Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable. BS 8214:2026 lists acceptable approaches such as suitable mastics, foams and stone wool.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bracknell?

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