Fire Door Signage in Hove: questions

Which fire safety law applies in Hove?

Hove 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.

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

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

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.
