Questions from Colne clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Colne?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

How often should they be tested?

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

Which fire safety law applies in Colne?

Colne 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.

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.
