Fire Stopping Around Doors in Totton: questions

Will I get photos?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Totton?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Totton can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Totton?

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