Huntingdon FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Huntingdon?

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

What is the difference between an intumescent strip and a smoke seal?

An intumescent strip expands in heat to seal the gap during a fire. A smoke seal, often a brush or blade, blocks cold smoke at lower temperatures. Smoke control doors, marked with an S such as FD30S, need both.

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

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

Can I just stick new seals over the old ones?

No. Seals should be fitted into the groove after the old seal is removed, in the size and type the door was tested with.
