Questions from York clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in York?

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

Will I get photos?

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

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

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

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.
