Questions from West Bridgford clients

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in West Bridgford?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in West Bridgford can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in West Bridgford?

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

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.
