Common questions in Wolverhampton

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

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wolverhampton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Wolverhampton 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.
