Fire Door Signage in Peterlee

From the SR8 district outwards, we cover Peterlee and neighbouring towns such as Seaham and Hartlepool 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 Peterlee.

Questions from Peterlee clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Peterlee?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Peterlee?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Peterlee 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.

Can I use any fire door sign?

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