Questions from Rossendale clients

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Rossendale?

Rossendale is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

What does best endeavours mean?

The government fact sheet describes it as the responsible person deciding how to engage residents to gain access and keeping evidence, such as correspondence, where access is refused or not possible.

Can you check the doors from the corridor only?

Part of the check can be done from outside, but the self-closer and the inside face need access to the flat. Where we cannot get in we record what was checked and why the rest was not possible.
