Common questions in Falmouth

Do you work in occupied buildings in Falmouth?

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

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.

Which fire safety law applies in Falmouth?

Falmouth is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

Can I use any fire door sign?

Use mandatory blue-and-white signs consistent with BS ISO 7010 and the building's existing signage.
