Questions about communal fire doors in Weymouth

How quickly can you survey in Weymouth?

We arrange surveys around your access needs and, where possible, combine Weymouth visits with other work in Dorset. Tell us your preferred dates when you enquire.

Can you work around tenants or staff in Weymouth?

Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.

Which rules do communal fire doors in Weymouth need to meet?

They are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.

How often should communal fire doors be checked?

In England, regulation 10 requires at least three-monthly checks in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres. Good practice is regular checks in all buildings.
