Fire Door Signage in Seaham: questions

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Seaham?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Seaham?

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

Do signs go on both sides of the door?

Self-closing fire doors are generally signed on both faces. Cupboard and riser doors are usually signed on the outside only.
