Common questions in Wickford

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Wickford?

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

Do you cover the area around Wickford?

Yes. As well as Wickford itself we cover nearby towns including Pitsea, Rayleigh and Basildon.

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.

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.
