What the law says in Northwich

In Northwich, as across England, Approved Document B governs new work and the Fire Safety Order 2005 governs existing premises. Note that Approved Document B is removing the BS 476 fire-resistance test references on 2 September 2029, so specifications are moving to EN classifications such as E30 Sa.

Common questions in Cheshire

Do you remove the old doors?

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

Can you work around tenants or staff in Northwich?

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.

Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Northwich?

Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.

Why does my double fire door not close properly?

Usually the door selector is missing or out of adjustment, or the leaves have dropped. Pairs need the inactive leaf to close first.
