Questions from Newton Abbot clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newton Abbot?

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

Can you fire stop a whole building?

This service covers fire stopping around doors and nearby penetrations. Wider compartmentation surveys need a specialist survey, which we can arrange.

Do you cover the area around Newton Abbot?

Yes. As well as Newton Abbot itself we cover nearby towns including Torquay, Paignton and Exmouth.

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.
