Basildon FAQs

Which fire safety law applies in Basildon?

Basildon is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential 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 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.

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

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