Questions from Bootle clients

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Bootle?

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 Bootle?

Bootle 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.

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.
