Pimlico FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Pimlico?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Pimlico 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 Pimlico from another company's report?

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

Can hold-open devices be used on flat entrance doors?

Generally not on flat entrance doors in residential blocks. They are mainly used on corridor and cross-corridor doors in other buildings, subject to the fire risk assessment.

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.
