Common questions in Burnham-on-Sea

Can you price remedial work in Burnham-on-Sea from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Burnham-on-Sea, 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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Burnham-on-Sea?

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