Common questions in Bideford

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bideford?

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

Do you cover the area around Bideford?

Yes. As well as Bideford itself we cover nearby towns including Barnstaple, Tiverton and Exeter.

Will I get photos?

Yes. Every sealed location is photographed before and after, and logged.
