Common questions in Ashton-under-Lyne

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ashton-under-Lyne?

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

Can you price remedial work in Ashton-under-Lyne from another company's report?

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

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.

Can I use any fire door sign?

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