Common questions in Newburn

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 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 cover the area around Newburn?

Yes. As well as Newburn itself we cover nearby towns including Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newburn?

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