Bury St Edmunds FAQs

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 Bury St Edmunds from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Bury St Edmunds, 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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bury St Edmunds?

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