Questions from Oldham clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Oldham?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Oldham can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Oldham?

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