Frome FAQs

Who is responsible for a flat entrance fire door?

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

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

What if a leaseholder has fitted a non-fire-rated door?

The report flags it with photographs and the evidence available. The responsible person and fire risk assessor then decide on the action, which may include asking the leaseholder to replace it.
