Woking FAQs

How often should they be tested?

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

Do you cover the area around Woking?

Yes. As well as Woking itself we cover nearby towns including Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Woking?

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