Questions from Bexley clients

How often should they be tested?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bexley?

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

Do you cover the area around Bexley?

Yes. As well as Bexley itself we cover nearby towns including Welling, Dartford and Swanley.

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.
