What cannot be repaired

What you get:
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Hinge, screw and latch repairs
Which fire door rules apply in Folkestone?
In Folkestone, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Folkestone building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Which buildings in Folkestone need fire door repairs and remedial works?
From blocks of flats to care homes, the requirement for fire door repairs and remedial works in Folkestone comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.
