Fire Stopping Around Doors throughout Norfolk: from Norwich to Great Yarmouth, every door is inspected, photographed and logged, and remedial work is priced door by door.

Fire Stopping Around Doors in Norfolk: 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.
Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Norfolk?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Norfolk is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Norfolk?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Norfolk can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
