Common questions in Northampton

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.

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

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