Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.

Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Kendal.
