Questions from Hertford clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hertford?

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

How often should they be tested?

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

Do acoustic hold-open devices work with any alarm?

They listen for the alarm sounder, so the sounder must be loud enough at the door. We check the sound level and the alarm type before recommending one.

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

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