Chatham FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chatham?

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

Do you cover the area around Chatham?

Do all fire doors need a sign?
