Your questions answered
Which rules do communal fire doors in Prestwich 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.
Can you fit just one door in Prestwich?
Yes — from a single door to a full building. Where possible, small jobs are scheduled alongside other visits in Greater Manchester.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Prestwich.
Should communal doors be glazed?
Doors across corridors usually need vision panels so people can see who is on the other side. The glass must be tested in that doorset.
