Fire Stopping Around Doors in Sutton Coldfield: questions

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Sutton Coldfield?

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

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.
