- Re-glazing to the original system

Fire doors in Whitehaven fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

Questions from Whitehaven
Is Whitehaven within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Whitehaven in Cumbria and neighbouring towns such as Workington. There is no charge for the survey.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
Can large gaps around a fire door be fixed?
Sometimes. Small gap problems can often be corrected by adjusting hinges or approved edge repairs. Gaps far beyond the certification usually mean the door or frame must be replaced.
