Newton Abbot FAQs

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newton Abbot?

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

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.

Will new seals fix a door with big gaps?

No. Seals only work within the gap they were tested with. Gaps outside tolerance need the door adjusting first.
