Questions from Whitehaven clients

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Whitehaven?

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

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.

Can I use any fire door sign?

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