Which rules do flat entrance fire doors in Watford 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.

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