Fire Door Signage in Gravesend: questions

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.

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

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Gravesend?

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

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.
