Kingswood FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Kingswood?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Kingswood is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Can you price remedial work in Kingswood from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Kingswood, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

Is it legal to wedge a fire door open?

Wedging a fire door open defeats it, because it cannot close in a fire, and it can breach fire safety law. If a door needs to stay open, use a device that releases it automatically when the alarm activates.

How often should they be tested?

With the weekly fire alarm test, and checked in detail at each fire door inspection.
