Questions from Old Trafford clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Old Trafford?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Old Trafford 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.

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.

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

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