Common questions in Heywood

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Heywood?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Heywood 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 Heywood from another company's report?

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

Can intumescent strips be painted?

Brush and fin smoke seals should never be painted, because paint stops them working. Some intumescent strips tolerate a light coat, but the safest rule is to mask all seals before decorating and replace any that have been painted.
