Communal fire doors in Norwich: questions

How quickly can you survey in Norwich?

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

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Norwich.

Which rules do communal fire doors in Norwich 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.

Do you replace doors while the building is occupied?

Yes. We phase work so escape routes are maintained, and plan each door to be removed and replaced the same day. If that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
