Fire Door Signage in Northwich

From the CW9 district outwards, we cover Northwich and neighbouring towns such as Winsford and Warrington for fire door signage surveys.

Fire door signage is the mandatory blue-and-white signs on fire doors telling people how the door must be used: keep shut, keep locked shut, or automatic fire door keep clear. We use the same method for buildings in Northwich.

Northwich FAQs

Is a missing sign a serious defect?

It will normally be recorded as a fail or advisory. It is quick and cheap to fix, so it is best done on the same visit.

Do all fire doors need a sign?

Most do. Self-closing fire doors usually need fire door keep shut signs; doors to cupboards and risers usually need keep locked shut; doors on hold-open devices need automatic fire door signs. Some doors, such as flat entrance doors and hotel bedroom doors, are commonly treated differently.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Northwich?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Northwich can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Northwich?

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