Questions from Haywards Heath clients

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Haywards Heath?

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

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.
