How do we deliver it?

Doorsets are fitted to the manufacturer's certified installation instructions. Substitutions or site modifications that would invalidate the certification are not made.

Which rules apply in Tendring?

Under the Building Safety Act 2022, building work in higher-risk buildings (18 metres or 7 storeys and above, with at least two homes) needs Building Safety Regulator approval before it starts unless it is exempt; most repairs and like-for-like replacements are exempt, but heating systems, fuse boxes and glazing units are not. Approval can take up to eight weeks for existing buildings, so we build it into the programme.
