Common questions in Leicester

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Leicester?

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

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Can I use any fire door sign?

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