Questions from Bicester clients

Do you cover the area around Bicester?

Yes. As well as Bicester itself we cover nearby towns including Oxford, Banbury and Aylesbury.

Which fire safety law applies in Bicester?

Bicester is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.

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.

Do all fire doors need a sign?
