Questions from St Austell clients

Which fire safety law applies in St Austell?

St Austell is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Why won't my fire door close properly?

Common causes are a closer set too weak, a latch out of line with the keep, dropped hinges, a seal binding at the edge, or flooring that has raised the threshold. We find the cause before adjusting the closer.

Can fire doors be held open?

Only with a device designed to release the door automatically when the fire alarm sounds, such as an acoustic or alarm-linked electromagnetic hold-open. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable on fire doors.

Do you work in occupied buildings in St Austell?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in St Austell can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
