Fire Door Signage in Weymouth

Responsible persons in Weymouth can book fire door signage surveys with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Weymouth.

Common questions in Weymouth

Can I use any fire door sign?

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

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Weymouth?

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Weymouth?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Weymouth 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.
