Questions about fire doors in Rayleigh
Can I just add strips to an old door?
Only if the door itself is capable of the rating, which most standard internal doors are not. A certified door set is usually the reliable route.
Which postcodes in Rayleigh do you work in?
All of them, including SS6, SS7 and SS11, and the surrounding parts of Essex.
Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Rayleigh?
With the local council for the address. Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
